Who makes the ACT-SAT conversion?

A Harvard admissions representative who traveled to my town in May 2007 said that Harvard simply uses the tables one can find online–which may be one way of saying that Harvard doesn’t obsess about ACT and SAT comparisons. I’m sure most colleges at the high end of selectivity have a strong sense of how high is high enough for admission on either brand of test, and most colleges in the middle range of selectivity are just happy to have students who remember to submit the test scores before the admission deadline (which may be very late in the school year). In other words, I wouldn’t worry about this a lot.

Good luck in your applications.
