With the arrival of the Redesigned SAT, we reached out to our friends in the admissions offices at Harvard, Princeton, and Northwestern to find out how they will handle the new test, the old test, and the ACT. Here are the questions we asked followed by their answers.
What is your opinion of the new SAT?
“The new SAT is as new to us as it is to the students so we will have to see how everything unfolds but we commit to giving students fair consideration and I don’t imagine that our review process will change drastically.”
Is the ACT the equal of the SAT?
“We accept the results from both the ACT and SAT and consider them in the same way.”
How will you compare Redesigned SAT results to ACT and old SAT results?
“We will likely eventually get a score concordance table from ACT and the College Board that allows us to compare results. We don’t have that table yet but that is what we have used in the past.”
