Can we start an official list of colleges, which superscore the ACT?

41

<p>They said at the Columbia info session we went to that they pick the best scores from each section of ACT and then that was confirmed by a phone call to the admission office.</p>

42

<p>I know University of Arkansas does</p>

43

<p>Boston College does not super score the ACT. BC super scores the SAT.</p>

44

<p>Okay, so a consolidated list so far:</p>

<p>Brown University
Columbia University
Connecticut College
Florida State University
Georgetown University
Kenyon College
NYU
MIT
Olin College
Purdue University
St. John's University
SUNY Buffalo
Trinity College (CT)
University of Arkansas
University of Georgia
University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill
WUSTL</p>

45

<p>Adding University of Tennessee:</p>

<p>Brown University
Columbia University
Connecticut College
Florida State University
Georgetown University
Kenyon College
NYU
MIT
Olin College
Purdue University
St. John's University
SUNY Buffalo
Trinity College (CT)
University of Arkansas
University of Georgia
University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill
University of Tennessee
WUSTL</p>

<p>correct me if i'm mistaken but i always thought that for the ACT you can just send in your highest score for each section instead of all of the sections at once. why would you need the college to superscore for you? just curious</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

47

<p>No, you can only send the results of entire tests at once, so you'd have to send multiple score reports to reap benefits from superscoring.</p>

48

<p>You're confusing it with the SAT, where you have no choice but to send all your scores (from every test you've taken) at once.</p>

49

<p>There may be some misinformation here. This is what Georgetown's website says:</p>

<p>Georgetown accepts the ACT in lieu of the SAT. Applicants who take the ACT more than once will have their highest composite score considered in the evaluation process. The optional writing section on the ACT is not required, nor is the writing subscore used in the application review process. </p>

<p>They do not superscore the ACT.</p>

50

<p>I think this should be stickied if we can actually compile an accurate list.</p>

51

<p>what about Arizona State?</p>

52

<p>ASU does not superscore SAT or ACT just emailed them.</p>

53

<p>how about UMich?</p>

54

<p>USMA West Point, USAFA Colorado, USNA Annapolis, USMMA, and USCGA all superscore ACT and SAT.</p>

55

<p>Does UNC-Chapel Hill really superscore them? Do the following schools superscore the ACT?</p>

<p>Vandy
USC
Michigan
UVirginia
UMiami
Bucknell
Texas
Wisconsin
Wake Forest</p>

56

<p>Does Emory?</p>

57

<p>How about Tufts?</p>

58

<p>Stanford:</p>

Every applicant to Stanford must submit scores from either the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT. If you take the ACT, we require that you also take the accompanying ACT Writing Test. For either test, we will focus on the highest scores submitted in our evaluation

<p>I also believe princeton does as well</p>

59

<p>Could there be a misunderstanding here about what superscoring actually means? Colleges use the highest Composite ACT submitted. Most students submit one test sitting. Colleges do not cherry pick the best sub-scores from multiple ACT tests, the way they do with the SAT. We need to redo the list.</p>

60

<p>i don't think so. </p>

<p>Colleges that only superscore one say they do like georgetown above, or USC on their website.</p>

<p>or like UNC below: </p>

We'll use your highest verbal and highest math score on the SAT and your highest composite score on the ACT.
