Hi there,
I’m a rising senior that had a few questions about testing.
1.) So when I first took the ACT a couple months ago, I had not studied whatsoever (idk what I was thinking) so I did poorly on my science and reading sections, 33C (36 W, 35 M, 32 R, 28 S, 10 Essay).
I studied and retook it again in June and increased my score to 35C (35 W, 35 M, 36 R, 35 S, 10 Essay)
So superscored my ACT would be a 36C because of my 36 W on the first one.
My first question is, out of the list of colleges I provided below, will any consider the 36 W to make my composite a 36C?
Harvard (EA)
Princeton
University of Southern California
Johns Hopkins
Yale
Stanford
Rice
Brown
Cornell
Duke
Columbia
UChicago
2.) I took the SAT once and that was last October and got a 1530 (730 CRW, 800 M, 24 Essay)
2a) Do you recommend, considering the colleges listed, that I try to retake it in August to raise that CRW score, I know Harvard superscores SAT, but would it be worth the effort?
2b) Do you recommend sending my 1530 to these selective colleges if I don't take the SAT again considering that my ACT score corresponds to a higher SAT score? I also have 3 subject tests, a 790 in Math II and a 720 in Chem with a US History score incoming. If I don't send my SAT, my understanding is that some of these colleges will take either the ACT or the SAT with SAT Subject tests. If I didn't send my SAT would I not send my subject tests?
Thanks a lot, sorry if I asked too many questions, I appreciate your responses!
