Hi, I’ve asked this question in the SAT forum but I’d like to get some more opinions from people who are familiar with Ivy / Yale.

P.S. I already applied to Yale SCEA, but need to decide which scores to use for the schools which I can pick which one to send…

SAT (2240): superscored, two sittings

R: 780
M: 760
W: 650
E: 8

R: 700
M: 760
W: 700
E: 10

ACT: 34 Composite, one sitting
Eng: 32
R: 36
M: 35
S: 34
E: not yet published



Looking at some of the score ranges, I feel like my 700 in writing is low for some Ivies, but my other scores are within the 25/75 gap.

On the other hand, my 34 is on the upper end of the 25/75 gap and for some reason it just “feels” higher, even though it converts lower… idk, this is tough.

Anyway, if I have the option to choose, should I send ACT/SAT/both? Or will it even matter? opinions appreciated. Obviously its too late for Yale.

Applying to: Yale (SCEA), Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Dartmouth, Duke, Emory etc.
