ACT Scores--32 vs. 33

<p>I applied ED to Penn CAS with ONLY The ACT score, and I already sent them my Sept ACT score which was</p>

<p>Total- 32
Reading -36
English-32
Math-31
Science-30</p>

<p>And I just got my score back from the Oct ACT</p>

<p>Total 33
Reading-36
English-35
Math-29
Science-30</p>

<p>Should I send it the new score? Even though my math is 29? (good thing I didn't apply to Wharton...) Or would Penn disregard it? Or worse, it could actually hurt me? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>i dunno..
33 definitely looks better, and im sure sending in another ACT score will only help you. I think you should send it in, because then they can look at both, and you have a 32 and a 33.</p>

<p>Logically, you should send it in. Either Penn looks at the total or it superscores each section. This means you can't lose - you'll have either a higher total or higher English. Now, could the lower math score stick in Penn's mind and hurt you? Who knows? I don't think it would, but it's up to you to decide whether the psychological effect outweighs logic.</p>

<p>33 is better than 32 hands down. 33 has two 3's in a row whereas 32...I can't even look at 32 it's pitiful. 34 is a bit too know-it-all for my liking.</p>
