<p>I took the SAT and ACT without prep to see which I preferred and would do better on. I got a 2010 and 31. I plan on retaking the ACT and aiming for a 34+ around the same time I take my SAT subject tests. On the Cornell admissions site it says that all SAT scores must be reported, however, I was planning on just sending in my ACT with a 34ish and SAT subject tests with over 750 (hopefully). If I have to send all scores that means they will also see my 2010. I assume, because they say they only require ACT or SAT and subject tests, that they will disregard the SAT and use my ACT score for admission. Is this correct or will the 2010 hurt my admission chances? And do you have to send all score if you plan on applying using your SAT scores or do you still have to send all scores even if you use the ACT?</p>
<p>They will take your best score. Ny D took the SAT 3 times & the ACT once, with her ACT score being the highest. If they like the rest of your application, they are not looking for reasons to not admit you.</p>
<p>So you sent all ACT and SAT scores?</p>
<p>…Yes…</p>
<p>Do you remember what her scores were? My GPA is obviously below average for Cornell so I am trying to get above average test scores</p>
<p>32 on ACT 1350 SAT, top 10% of class. Outstanding excellence & leadership in EC’s.</p>
<p>Awesome, thanks for the help</p>
<p>Anyone else reading this…You shouldn’t take any test without prep because those test scores stay with you after ninth grade. </p>
<p>OP - Cornell has 7 schools and each school has its own admission criteria, so look over carefully to ensure the right fit. Some school focus more on GPA and test scores, and some look for right ECs and interest.</p>
<p>Am dealing with this dilemma now as ACT scores were signif better than SAT I scores, but need to submit subject test scores for CAS. I called and the woman in admissions said it was fine to NOT send the SAT I scores if the student is planning on using ACT. This is what I wanted to hear, but am nervous to do it that way because it sounds against what I am reading. And it looks like they can see if you sent all or sent selected SAT tests. Any thoughts?</p>
