<p>I mean will it hurt me when admission sees my low scores?</p>
<p>Well, if your scores look like this:</p>
<p>800 500 500</p>
<p>500 800 500</p>
<p>500 500 800</p>
<p>that’s not going to look the same as a non-superscored 2400. But it’s also going to look better than if you just sent in a single 1800 score and left it at that.</p>
<p>Here are my scores:
E 30, M 34, R 31, S 33 Comp: 32
E 33, M 35, R 27, S 27 Comp: 31
When they’re superscored, it’s a 33.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>you have another thread about this exact same thing.</p>
<p>It’s two down from this one.</p>
<p>Seriously.</p>
<p>i know a lot of colleges don’t superscore with the ACT but if you’ve already figured out some that have, that’s great</p>
<p>i agree with amarkov. it doesn’t seem you fit the situation he’s talking about, so chill</p>
<p>I don’t think so. For universities using “Highest Section Scores Across All Test Dates” they truly do adhere to their policy and calculate your academic index with your highest section scores. So I do not believe that some subjective interpretation regarding lower scores negatively influences your decision. Even for schools that do not superscore, they use an admitted student’s highest section scores for statistics that go towards calculating the school’s ranking and published statistical profile. Thus, I believe that all universities should use such when evaluating their applicants.</p>
<p>Some “elite” schools do superscore the ACT, and I believe this will be an increasing trend. Schools are trying to find other, new ways to distinguish between otherwise excellent applicants, especially with trends like no class rank in high school. However, this is beyond your control; I would worry about what you CAN control, like your GPA and EC’s.</p>
<p>It’s only an one point increase, so I’ll probably not superscore</p>
<p>Any more opinions on what I should do? Now I kidda want to superscore, if there’s not harm in doing so.</p>
<p>YOU don’t get to superscore. You send scores to schools and they superscore for you.</p>
<p>^ Yeah, I know. I guess I was trying to say that should I send my second set of scores to colleges that superscore.</p>
<p>I have heard of very few schools that superscore the ACT. Your higher score is generally stronger across the board so I would send that.</p>
