<p>since there seems to a list that is not up to date I thought I would start to make a list of colleges that *superscore the ACT *. I called and asked the respective college so these are 100% guaranteed to superscore, no questions asked.</p>
<p>Feel free to add to list ONLY if you have called and asked. (I will probably double check just to make sure).</p>
<p>List:
Carnegie Mellon
RPI
MIT
Cornell
Johns Hopkins
WashU
Northwestern</p>
<p>I will add more. I'll be calling a couple of universities each day over the next couple of days. </p>
<p>Johns Hopkins? woot woot I hope so. I did not think they did, I was under the impression that they only look at highest composite, but will look at individual sub scores - like Math for Engineering. Are you saying that you they build a new super score?</p>
<p>Now if we could just get Rice on the list, we’d be all set.</p>
<p>Theres colleges I called already that aren’t even on that list. And yes, the Johns Hopkins adcom woman said that they DO combine the highest score from different test dates for a total score. Just call and ask.</p>
<p>I thought colleges aren’t supposed to look at more than one ACT test. Are you saying that if you submit two scores from two different test they would combine them.</p>
<p>Add Tufts, UMCP, Wesleyan, Macalester, U Rochester.</p>
<p>Emory does not superscore the ACT, but does superscore the SAT.</p>
<p>talibah, yes, some colleges superscore the ACT just like they do the SAT. They take the highest subscores from each section, even if tests were given on separate dates.</p>
<p>I can see this as really good for the student, I wonder what took the colleges so long. I took the test twice and can say that one section on the second test was way harder than on the first, and my scores reflected it.</p>
<p>Just a warning about only calling once: the volunteer that answers the phone might give you the wrong info. (I learned from first-hand experience.) Also, wrt Cornell: it has several colleges with different admissions strategies, and I don’t believe all them superscore.</p>
<p>But the lady from JHU said that they did superscore the ACT…maybe bluebayou is correct.
I’m going to call again.</p>
<p>As for CMU, MIT does the same thing, and that is pretty much the same as superscoring since all of your best scores are being seen.</p>
<p>EDIT: Cjgone, that answer is from 2006…please check the date next time. Don’t waste time searching for some old threads, I think calling is the best idea.</p>
<p>WongTongTong, yes, I called for those schools that didn’t explicitly list a policy on their websites, which is the first place to look. Of course, now I don’t remember which schools were which . bluebayou makes a good point about calling more than once. That means that you might have to call three times. :)</p>
<p>GWU does not superscore the ACT. They will take your highest composite score. From their website:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So save a little money and just send the highest composite score.</p>
<p>GW was one of those that gave me different answers last year – one was even in writing (which differed from the website). </p>
<p>Also, be careful WTT – some schools say that they will “look” at all scores submitted, but that does not necessarily mean that they will recalculate a new composite score.</p>
