<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>
