act superscore?

<p>I just read on this forum that cornell takes act superscore. am i supposed to superscore the act test myself and report it on the common app, or do i just send all my act test scores to cornell and they take care of it from there?</p>

<p>bump responses plzzz :(</p>

<p>Never heard of this, but if Cornell really does, what a pleasant surprise that would be! My 34 would be a 35 superscored :D</p>

<p>Idk how reliable that is... I've heard from more than one adcom that they do not superscore. I suppose it depends what undergrad coll. you are applying to. I do know however that you would just send in all your ACT scores. Don't calculate it yourself.</p>

<p>the ACT is not superscored</p>

<p>the SAT is superscored</p>

<p>why?
the overall SAT score is a sum of your three parts, therefore a superscore is a reasonable transformation.</p>

<p>the overall ACT score is a geometric average of your four parts, therefore superscoring it does not make any practical sense.</p>

<p>not true to the above person's reply...other colleges such as WashU super-score the ACT as well, so there is a legitimate chance that cornell does the same</p>

<p>washU is one of the FEW that superscores the ACT</p>

<p>here's a possibly reliable source of schools that superscore the act:
Colleges</a> that super score ACT : College Admissions Counseling</p>

<p>you can dream, but that doesn't make it reality.</p>
