<p>I know for a fact most schools accept either test. But for some reason I have a gut feeling most schools prefer the SAT over the ACT. Could this be true? Let’s say for example schools like Berkeley or UCLA?</p>
<p>UCLA and Berk, no.</p>
<p>But one that I know does now is Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.</p>
<p>I see no reason not to take schools at their word. If they say they have no preference, they don’t. They could have a preference if they wanted to. In fact, many used to, then changed them. I think the lingering effect of what used to be true (what used to be recommended) is what is causing your gut feeling.</p>
<p>I would think that if most schools had a preference, they would like the ACT better. Recently, a lot of people have been saying the ACT is a much better test and the SAT is getting less and less accurate.</p>
