Sometimes counselors and your peers are wrong. They are definitely wrong about this one, possibly raising a question about the competency of the counselor. Stanford and almost all colleges in the U.S. take either SAT or ACT without preference. In deciding whether you should also take the ACT, be aware that Stanford does require you to submit the scores of all SAT and all ACT tests you have taken, see http://admission.stanford.edu/application/freshman/testing.html, and thus if you take the ACT and score poorly, you will be required to provide it to Stanford.
