<p>if you put your super score down in common app, don't you have to send every ACT score you received?</p>
<p>I don't think you compute the superscore; I think the school does that (at the schools which do it).
And yes, you would have to send the official reports from whatever tests you are relying on.
Finally, and most important, I don't think NU superscores.</p>
<p>oh they don't? i thought they did...</p>
<p>I don't think NU superscores.</p>
<p>I do not know whether or not NU superscores, although my impression is that Northwestern does not superscore. Northwestern University, in my experience, does not play games. Many 1500+ scorers on a scale of 1600 SAT are rejected each year. Even though Northwestern is a school of roughly 8,000 undergraduates receiving over 22,000 applications, they read the apps as if it was an LAC. Point is that your essays, teacher recs & verified matching interests & accomplishments are more important than your standardized test scores once an applicant passes the "threshhold" regarding numbers.</p>
<p>I was wrong. NU does not do the superscores.
If Northwestern read the app as if it was an LAC, how come there test score range is so high? higher than some of the ivy league schools, but maybe that's because NU rocks!</p>
