ACT w/o writing overlooked @ JHU, CORNELL, BROWN? since they require writing?

<p>SO I took my ACT w/o writing, and I got...</p>

<p>ACT- 32-english 34-math 29-reading 27-science</p>

<p>The rest of my scores look like this =/</p>

<p>SAT I- reading- 590 math-680 writing-660</p>

<p>SAT II-math "level 2"-710 U.s. history- 630</p>

<p>I was hoping to be able to submit just my ACTs , but I never took the writing, so it doesn't meet there requirements. I dont know if I can submit all of my scores plus the ACT w/o writing, if they'll accept it, and look at it. In which case Im assuming the rest of my scores would be hurtful? There a huge difference between a SAT math-680 & an ACT math-34 (im majoring in mathematics). Even the ACT english & reading- "32 & 29 respectively" are much more impressive than my SAT reading-590.</p>

<p>JHU, Cornell, and Brown are just 3 of the schools I'm applying to... </p>

<p>I'm looking for a way to work with my ACTs in my favor so that I dont need to detriment myself with the rest of my scores...any suggestions or past instances that could help me???OH PLZZ & THNX!!!</p>

<p>Every school seems to do it slightly differently; you just need to research the ones you are interested in. I saw one that will take ACT w/out writing, and combine it with the essay score from an SAT. </p>

<p>But some schools won’t even take an ACT w/out writing and combine the writing from another setting. So for schools like that, a good ACT w/out is just a waste.</p>

<p>I would call and ask and wait for a clear answer. If they say ‘we can’t help you’ then I would send in all of my scores (ACT and SAT) or retake the ACT with writing.</p>

<p>I would retake the ACT and take it with writing this time. If they don’t offer it with writing in your area, I know some schools make exceptions for the writing requirement.</p>
