<p>Same kind of issue at our house. My D is very likely going to send only her ACT, which was 35. </p>
<p>I think Yale is going to see many similar cases this year, and here’s why. My D took the SAT and ACT without any prep - what she called a diagnostic test - back when everyone believed score choice was available at all colleges. She retook the ACT because she liked it better than the SAT. Her SAT is not bad (2120), but her MathII score is weak (650), and she doesn’t really want Yale to see that. By rejecting score choice, Yale forces students like her to hide their experimental efforts that were based on an expectation of score choice. This means Yale will never see her 780 in Lit and her 750 in US History, which is a little painful. But it is what it is. And if lots of applicants send only the ACT scores, there’s far less chance of some kind of subtle bias against them for not submitting SATs.</p>
