I recently obtained my ACT scores and I was wondering whether to send my ACT scores or my SAT scores. On my ACT, I obtained 31 on English, 27 on Math, 34 on Reading, 25 on Science and a combined English/Writing 29, with an essay score of 8, for a total composite score of 29. On my SAT, I received a 650 on CR, 650 on math and 660 on writing with an essay score of 11 for a total of 1960. I intend to major in finance or business administration and I am applying to NYU Stern, Macaulay Baruch, Boston College, Carnegie Mellon, University of Michigan, Binghamton and more. So should I send in my SAT or my ACT scores and I won't be able to retake them because I'm taking SAT 2s in december (us, math level 2 and literature).

Tough choice, but if it was up to me, I would submit my SAT

That's hilarious- I'm planning on majoring in finance and have the exact same total scores as you for each test (640CR/640M/680W, 29E/27M/29R/29S/10 essay) I am expecting at least slightly higher results from the November SAT which will be revealed next week.

In any case, not all schools superscore, so I'm still interested in what people have to say about this if worse comes to worse. The percentile for a 29 is slightly higher than a 1960 (93% vs 91% if I remember correctly), but I've seen mid 600s on each section in the 25th-75th percentiles while a 29 altogether isn't for some schools. Still need more evidence though, so bump.
