<p>What about a 32 from junior year with a 10 essay? I have a 34 math/36 reading, 29 science (still 96 perc), and 27 English. I did get a AP Engl.4 this year, the other AP this yr(junior year) I had a 5-Ap Env., 5-Ap Art, and 5-AP Hist. Freshman AP Human-4, Sophomore -AP World-3 (sick that day).
GPA: 4.6 Rank 30 out of over 800+</p>
<p>32 is still high, but looking at higly selective/Ivy. Female; considering engineering/math.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input.</p>
<p>Ok maybe some policies have changed since last year but even then not all of the Ivy league or top colleges are enforcing this (Only 3 of the Ivies are + Stanford). </p>
<p>I really don’t see how colleges can enforce this rule. Will they force ACT to reveal how many times each applicant has taken the test? Also if someone took it as a freshmen/sophomore, I don’t find the logic in shelling out money to send those scores.</p>
<p>Collegesgirl: A 32 is really good but I would definitely retake if you think you can raise it higher. Many top colleges have their 75th percentile at 33~34.</p>
<p>YEs, some take it yearly as part of talent search…(Duke, Iowa, etc.). Any suggestion on taking ACT again under my scenario.</p>
<p>Oh, this year I also had some B’s in AP Classes due to illness (being out 20+ days) but got 5 on AP exams.</p>
<p>I think that it is right for a college to see all of one’s scores.</p>
<p>I mean, think about it. Would you equate someone who got a 36 their second time and a 33 the next with someone who got a 36 their only try?</p>
<p>Egbert Souse is correct. many schools now have required that you send in every score because they know that policy of the ACT. </p>
<p>however, to the OP and question. I would not retake it. Granted, that a 7 COULD be better, it isn’t necessary. do well on AP Literature/Language and Composition or IB English (whatever you do) and do well on that. Also, your essay should be able to convey that. “Huh, so and so can write a good college application essay, screw that 7 on the ACT” is what I would assume. </p>
<p>a 34 is what they are looking for.</p>
<p>New to using this…how does one start their own question/thread?</p>
<p>click “new thread” on the thread list</p>
<p>Egbert Souse, you are wrong. ACT is not even affiliated with Collegeboard and always had a policy that you only have to send your top score. There is no way for a college to know how many tests you took besides the one provided to them and for the ACT, there is no college that makes you send all scores. That is different for the SAT cause Collegeboard (whom the ACT is NOT affiliated with) says how many times you took the test. Btw, I saw from your other thread that u are only a freshman so here is my message to you: relax, wait until your junior year before trying to prove everyone wrong only to be wrong in the end.</p>
<p>Yale, Georgetown, and Stanford make you send all scores.</p>
<p>Only for the SAT, they can’t for the ACT cause there is no way for them to know how many tests you took.</p>
<p>They still ask that you send in all ACT scores. Sure, you could not send it in, but then you would be lying and that is a great way to get rescinded/kicked out.</p>
<p>^ you know i’ve never heard of someone getting caught for not sending all scores, and I know a few that have.</p>
<p>not that I recommend decieving a college, of course. ;)</p>
<p>I have the same problem, 34 composite, 8 on essay.</p>
