<p>Hey guys I have another question.
If you go here <a href=“Cal Poly | Learn by Doing”>http://www.calpoly.edu/~inststdy/cds/cds0708.pdf</a> and scroll down to C9 you will see that it reads ACT ENGLISH and ACT math. I thought Cal Poly only looks at the ACT Reading Math and Science. PLEASE Correct me if I am wrong.</p>

<p>I think they just use all your act scores, which is your composite score right?</p>

3

<p>I highly doubt that because if that were the case then why would they disregard the writing section of the SAT?</p>

4

<p>the average act score there is 27, i dont think you can get that without all the sections “composite” correct me if I am wrong though</p>

5

<p>I think you can.
If they said the average ACT was 27 then only the average of the reading and math scores could have been taken into consideration.</p>

6

<p>I emailed the admission guy,and he said they look at your english and math. To bad i’m bad at math</p>

7

<p>^^Did he say that they only use english and math for admission? Other words: on the admission profiles, are the act scores listed the composite of the four or just english and math combined?</p>

8

<p>Are you sure he didn’t mean ACT reading?</p>

9

<p>Nope english and math are the biggest sections on the act, I know i thought the same thing since thats how the sat is scored.</p>

<p>"We use the ACT English and Math scores only.</p>

<p>Hope this answers your question.</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>Why do I feel like he made a mistake?</p>

11

<p>hmm,good for me, for my 27 Composite, my English and math were both 28. Hope that gets me in for bio.lol.</p>

12

<p>haha, nice!
Yeh, this works out perfectly for me too.</p>

<p>I called Admissions today and she said they only add English and Math together and take the highest of those scores (if more than one ACT composite score is sent in.)</p>
