Lol I just read this after almost a year. Anyway, at high caliber universities, a 36 ACT and 2400 SAT will be weighted relatively equally simply due to the fact that these universities realize that it is not the standardized test scores that are the most important part of students’ applications. Every year, more and more emphasis is being put on EC’s and grades of a student than standardized test scores. Colleges are now looking for something intuitive a student can bring to the table; for example new inventions, the highest number of fortune 500 jobs given to their university students, D1 athletics, so on and so forth.

It could be said that in the situation that two candidates with equal stats and one with a 36 ACT while the other with a 2400 SAT are competing for the same spot, the 2400 SAT might have the edge due to the differences in the SAT compared to the ACT. Realistically speaking, however, when does that situation even happen?
