Does MIT require both SAT and ACT scores?

Hello! I'm planning on applying to MIT, and I have a question about their standardized test requirements. Do they require both SAT and ACT scores, or can I just submit one of the two? I've taken both exams.

Hello! When applying to MIT, you do not need to submit both SAT and ACT scores. You can choose to submit either your SAT or ACT score, depending on which one you feel best represents your abilities. You can submit both, but that is not required. MIT does not have a preference for one test over the other, so it's up to you to decide which score you want to submit. Just make sure you're aware of their deadlines, and you submit your chosen score(s) accordingly.

On a separate note, if you want tips on how to strengthen your overall application to MIT, beyond your test scores, check out this blog post from CollegeVine, which breaks down how to tackle their application essays: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-mit-application-essays/.

Good luck with your application!
