<p>In our state, she’ll probably qualify only for commended, and that doesn’t require a confirming SAT score. I think it’s pretty logical for Yale to assume that almost everyone who submits only ACT scores has also taken SAT’s, or at least SAT II’s. After all, many of them will be applying to places that require SAT II’s on top of the ACT. So anybody who decides to submit just the ACT has to come to terms with this feeling that Yale will suspect there are more tests out there. My personal hunch is that they really don’t care all that much. They have all sittings of the ACT to look at, and all the subscores to mull over. They just don’t have that much time to ponder the reasons for there not being more numbers on the application. If a student has a really strong ACT score, Yale will understand why the applicant rests on that score, I think. (I hope!)</p>
