<p>Also, I got my ACT scores back recently. I got my third 31.
Reading:36
Math:28
Science:30
English:30 </p>

<p>Do colleges care if you got different high scores on the different parts of the ACT? Like will they take into consideration my highest scores in each section.</p>

<p>The biggest hook for acceptance is that you’re Hispanic. But, other than your grades, your stats are low and you have few areas where you show a “passion”. In fact, your motivation seems to be all for your resume, than b/c you like the activities. “Currently taking 3 courses online to boost to top 5%”</p>

<p>The two awards are fairly common and your ECs are weak. You don’t show leadership except being a sports editor. The first 3 schools listed are a high reach, while the last 3 are quite likely, especially because you’re in-state.</p>

<p>To answer about the ACT: they don’t superscore, so individual scores within a test is meaningless.</p>
