<p>I am indeeding referring to the ACT. The colleges that I cited all stated this in their info sessions. I know that UGA does exactly that because on their application status page it shows the ACT/SAT scores submitted and the composite ACT was the one that was “mixed and matched”. UMiami was quite honest in saying by doing so it also helps them look better by using the higher score.</p>
<p>By the way, my daughter only applied with her ACT scores (we are in SAT country) and has been very succesful. </p>
<p>William and Mary said that they had found that about 1/3 of students score better on the ACT, 1/3 do better on the SAT and 1/3 perform about the same on both tests.</p>
