“In submitting their application for admission consideration, students will certify that they will send to Pomona reports of all test scores, whether ACT or SAT and SAT Subject tests or both.”

Have you tried asking the admissions office?

I think this wording - “or both” - suggests that if you took both SAT and ACT, you must submit all scores from both tests. (Or does “both” modify “SAT and SAT Subject tests”???) I and my D’s counselor read last year’s language - which may have been different - as saying that you are allowed to choose which test you’ll rely on, and that you must submit all scores from that test. If you want to rely on SAT subject tests to supplement an ACT score, you submit “both” types of SAT scores. But if you’re willing to go with ACT only, you can leave out the SAT tests.

What do others think? I think it’s a close call, and I actually think this language is new since last year.
