<p>I think that the opposite is more likely. Few kids will submit a lower ACT score (as did your D) just bcos it costs more money and adds zero value to the app. Instead, what is more likely is that colleges that require Subject Tests receive the higher ACT but also the lower SAT when the Subject Test report arrives. (Of course, with CB’s new score choice, that will change at most colleges next year.)</p>
