<p>My first ACT I got a 28, but had a 32 on the math section
My second ACT I got a 30, but had a 28 on the math section</p>
<p>Should I include the first one too. Its gonna cost like $50 extra if I do and I don't feel like throwing money away.</p>
<p>Do any of these schools take the highest scores from each test and not the highest composite:
Brown
Georgetown
Claremont McKenna
UVA
Tulane
Clemson
?</p>
<p>With those schools, the higher the score, the better the chance</p>
<p>ya but should I send more than one test? or just my 30?</p>
<p>will they average them or will it hurt me if they see my lower score?</p>
<p>They will not give you a new composite score, but they will look at all the numbers. I think a 4 pt spread is significant. My son had a four point differential on his composite score but we only sent in the second test because the only score he did worse on was math a 31 instead of a 32 - -which wouldn't have changed his composite regardless.</p>

<p>Why don't you ask your GC or call the office of admissions and ask them?</p>
<p>ya thats a good idea thanks. i'll do that.</p>
<p>i've heard they don't really care that much about the science and reading as much as the matt and english is this true? like is it better to get a 32 with 36 on math and english and 28 on reading and science or does it not really matter?</p>
<p>It's the old adage should I take AP class and get a B or should I take the regular class and get the A. Take AP and get an A. I think Adcom would like you do well across the board.</p>
<p>I'm not sure about the wieght on the subjects, but I do know that every school wants balance, they don't want a 20 on math and a 36 on English. I think your in good shape.</p>
<p>Tulane does superscore the ACT. Dunno about Clemson, but I do not believe that hte others do.</p>

<p>Not necessarily -- some may, some may not.</p>

<p>I can guarantee that the answer will be: 'send them all, and let us decide what to use'.</p>
<p>Brown already responded:

I am a student very interested in transferring to Brown. I scored a composite 30 on the ACT, but only a 28 on the math section. On a previous test I scored lower on the composite, but earned a 32 on the math section. Is it beneficial to send both sets of ACTs or does the Admission Office only take into account the highest composite ACT at one sitting and by sending my lower composite be detrimental to my chance of acceptance.</p>
<p>Their response:
Admission candidates too often rely on the results of standardized tests as the measurement of ability and achievement. At Brown, these scores will be but one factor among many in our consideration of your application. We will consider the highest scores.</p>
<p>It seems kind of vague to me whether they use the highest composite scores or highest scores from multiple sittings. Any ideas?</p>
<p>I would send the highest composite score.</p>
