Which score to send in? Help!

I scored a 2270 on my SAT and 35 on my ACT. With conversions, my ACT is higher, but I would also like colleges to see my SAT biology (730) and math2 (800), especially math since I scored a perfect score. I know I can use score choice to hide my SAT score so that colleges only see my subject tests, but colleges look down upon applicants that use score choice. Help! Should I just send in both my ACT and SATs? or just my ACT score and forget about the subject tests?

Those are some pretty impressive scores, regardless of what schools you're looking into. What schools are you applying to?

I am applying to several Ivy Leagues including princeton dartmouth cornell, some ucs, rice, northwestern, urochester, duke, and wash u st louis. admissions are REALLY competitive at these schools so that is why I am worried about how a lower SAT score might affect my chances if the admission officer sees it, despite my higher ACT score.

What are your individual scores on the ACT? If your math and science scores are comparable to your ones on the SAT, then I'd consider just sending my ACT scores.

I only got a 32 on the ACT science section so that is why I want colleges to see my SAT biology score. Thanks for the help! I will send in both scores
