<p>act and sat.which one do most of the top colleges prefer? especially for Cornell.</p>
<p>it can’t hurt to take both…</p>
<p>I don’t know for sure. But I CAN say that five of my friends got into Cornell with only the SAT :).</p>
<p>Take the one that you will do best on–relative to your score on the other…they are both universally accepted and a college won’t discriminate based on which standardized test you took. That being said, some students do better on the SAT, some do better on the ACT, some do basically the same on each. Base your decision on your strengths after taking a practice of each and comparing the scores.</p>
