I did somewhat better on my ACT (34) than my SAT 1 (2200) comparatively. I’m applying for pretty competitive schools and I thought the ACT score might make up for the weaker SAT. Regardless, I sent both, but is ACT seen as kind of a backup/easier alternative at prestigious places? I’m talking ivies and such.
