Brown ACT Questions

Hi everyone, I’m a junior right now, and have been looking into Brown University. I know they do not Superscore ACT, but do look at multiple test scores. Does anyone know if Brown requires you to submit every single score? I’m taking the test 4-5 times and don’t want to submit every single test. Additionally, how do they consider the multiple tests submitted? Thank you!!!

Why are you taking the test 4-5 times? Have you taken the ACT yet? How did you do on it?

Brown accepts score choice for the SAT but I do not know if this holds true for the ACT, as there is no equivalent as you pay per test date, not for all tests taken. You can always contact the Admissions Office—that’s why they’re there!

You can delete test dates (unless part of school or state testing,) which IMO is what you should do, as there are some schools that require all test scores and you can save money this way as the ACT charges you to send scores per test date.

"Q: How does Brown evaluate standardized tests?

A: We look at your test scores along with other information about your academic promise as we read your complete application. We do not attempt to assess test results in a formulaic way. If you have taken tests more than once, we concentrate on your highest scores. For the two components of the SAT we focus on your best scores, regardless of the date you took the test. We do not calculate averages, nor do we look at the sum total of the components."
