<p>So, I've only taken the SAT I one time. I live in the South, and basically here there is little prepping or attention put on the SAT--just the ACT. </p>
<p>I sent in my SAT I score before I got my good ACT score back...Will colleges see my ACT score and be like, "Oh yay, this is cool", or will they be like, "Okay, this ACT score is goo--SAT, WHAT IS THIS?! throw in garbage plz"</p>
<p>My son has the same dilemma--great ACT /33 but has only taken the SAT once in 9th grade...am wondering if he should focus on the SAT more before he graduates in 2011---and does class rank (#1 of 250) valedictorian, extensive community service hours, and leadership roles within school clubs help at all?</p>
<p>Schools will take the higher score. Class rank is usually the most important factor in admission, and ECs are considered in LACs and top rank universities (Ivies).</p>
