Colleges generally assert that if you submit both ACT and SAT, they will use to determine admission that test with the better score. An exception to that is that some are even more favorable in that they will actually use that test with the believed higher composite while also considering a higher section score, such as in math, from the other test, e.g., UIUC’s engineering department does that in evaluating admission.
