Is ACT counted for college as much as SAT?

If they really are biased against the ACT, it’s probably because a lot of the admission officers are still used to the old SAT’s. I’ve met quite a number of adcoms who still call Critical Reading –> Verbal. (the old name for the old SAT) Also, when the ACT first came out, I remember people calling it more of a Midwestern thing(?). It was not as popular on the East Coast where a LOT of the most renown colleges are located in.
