Hello! I hope to apply to Harvard in a few years. My question is, does Harvard consider the ACT's just as importantly as the SAT's? I'm strongly considering the ACT more than the SAT at this point and would really like some help on this topic. The ACT's is adding an optional essay section soon which should be on point with selective universities (like Harvard) requirements for writing.

Anyway, any advice?

Write Both or Write the New SAT. Write the New SAT for sure.

Well, I won't get the new SAT (to all you rising juniors, haha ;) ).

But I saw on Harvard's web site they want your highest ACT OR SAT. Same with most east coast school's now-a-days. Since I can score better on the ACT, I took that plus the 3 SAT IIs.
