<p>I'm applying to fordham, Villanova, Loyola MD, butler, Bentley and a few others. Should I send my 29 composite with 10 writing or 31 Composite with 7 writing? I've sent both to a few schools. Should I continue sending both or just send one? Which one?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>31</p>
<p>I think it depends on your intended major. If you’re going to major in math or science, then send in the 31, but if you’re interested in liberal arts, definitely send in the 29./10. My son was accepted to Fordham (and they awarded him merit $$) with a 29 ACT and 10 in writing, and he was selected to be enrolled in Comp II as opposed to Comp I freshman year. I think colleges place a lot more emphasis on writing skills if your intended major will require a lot of papers and other forms of communication. </p>
<p>@mrsmontana I am going into business. Do you mind if I ask what his unweighted and weighted GPA was? </p>
<p>I think I’m going to send both, so they can decide which one they want. Will that work?</p>
<p>Yes, send both. </p>
<p>31/7 is def better</p>
<p>Bummmmmp</p>
<p>i would not send in the lower score. why even go there? maybe take again… but no reason to show them the 29! let them think you got 31 on the first try :)</p>
<p>They don’t care if you have a lower score - they will look at your best scores from all reports. I think send both.</p>
<p>@Naviance That was the first time! But, the 29 has a 10 on writing, so I want them to see both. </p>
<p>Any other opinions?</p>
<p>You don’t accidentally get a higher test score, but you can have a bad day and get a lower one. I’d send both, they aren’t going to hold the lower scores against you and will see what you are capable of, even if they don’t superscore.</p>
<p>FWIW, the 31 is actually the better test.</p>
<p>DD called admissions last year and Loyola MD superscores the ACT. Go</p>
<p>Good luck. You can do well at any of those schools.</p>
<p>Bump</p>
<p>Why are you bumping? There is no specific “perfect” answer. If you only send one, send the 31 – it is a far better score and so many schools don’t really value the writing score since it is a single snapshot in time. If you can afford to send both, send both.</p>
<p>@Momof2back2back I’m looking for more opinions. Why else would I post it…? </p>
<p>31/both</p>
<p>A score of 31 seems to be a descent score as compared with a 29. 
</p>
<p>Send both. The 29 isn’t so low that you will be summarily rejected (just as the 31 isn’t so high that you’ll be automatically accepted). The two scores together tell a story.</p>
