“If they take both, they treat them equally, so it’s really up to you.”

“All schools in the United States accept the ACT and SAT. Both tests are treated equally.”

“Short answer: both are equal.”

“SAT = ACT
there is no 100 word explanation needed.”

Not always true. For a given school, google for their Common Data Set, section C8. One of the check boxes can indicate “SAT preferred” and if checked, you may be lowering your chances of admission if you submit only the ACT.
