Hi everyone. I am currently a senior and am applying to some highly selective schools. (Cornell, Vanderbilt, Lehigh, Bucknell) Currently I am ranked 11th in my class with a 4.0 weighted gpa. I participate in numerous extracurriculars and have hundreds of hours of community service. However, I have a question.

I am not sure if I should only send in my ACT or send in my SAT as well. Here’s the breakdown. SAT: First Attempt- Composite 1900 Math 620 Reading 630 Writing 650
Second Attempt - Comp 1880 Math 650 Reading 620 Writing 610

ACT: First Attempt- Comp 30 English 29 Math 28 Reading 34
Science 28

                Sat II: Biology E 690   Math I 670   US History 680



I know that a 30 on the ACT converts into around a 2000. This is much better than my SAT score. Am I better off only sending in my ACT so the colleges do not see the lesser SAT scores, or should I send in everything.

Any input is helpful, Thank you.
