Nothing on Stanford’s website to indicate that preference. http://admission.stanford.edu/application/freshman/testing.html I don’t know of any “elite” college or university that prefers ACT over SAT or vice versa. Also,while the Common Data Set for 2014-15 does not indicate a preference, it does show that more Stanford freshmen submitted SATs than ACTs. (This is probably due to the fact that the SAT is still more popular on the East and West coasts as well as for international applicants. That may well change next year when the new SAT is introduced). http://ucomm.stanford.edu/cds/2014 (Percent submitting SAT scores: 86%. Number submitting SAT scores: 1,438
Percent submitting ACT scores: 39%. Number submitting ACT scores: 764)
