<p>By “Superscore” are u guys referring to taking the best section from eaching sitting of thea ACT or the best composite ACT. B/c I think I would start dancing for around 18 minutes…seeing as thats how many colleges I applied to…if some of they “Superscored” the ACT.</p>

<p>But even a ‘superscore’ of 36 won’t ensure admission to CMU, WUSTL, or MIT. I’ve seen the proof of that.</p>
<p>University of Colorado Boulder definitly does</p>
<p>At one time Georgia Tech took the Math and English scores, converted them to “equivalent SAT scores” and then superscored combined with SAT. I don’t know whether they still do.</p>
<p>Georgia Tech still does so, and they use the percentiles published by the College Board and ACT to determine an equivalent SAT score for ACT subscores. So, take for instance that I scored a 31 on the math section. If this score is in the 95th percentile, it would be equivalent to a 740 on the math section of the SAT.</p>
<p>Ga. Tech is PRETTY generous in their scoring system. I wish more schools did that, or vice-versa.
My 750 M on the SAT would convert to a 34/35 on ACT instead of a 26, giving me a composite of 33</p>
<p>Do you get brownie points for taking the test in just one sitting?</p>
<p>I only took my ACT once and was more than happy with my score, so I didn’t take it any other times. Now you’re saying that in the grand scheme of things, I’ll be punished for it? I really don’t think that’s fair, I mean it’s far harder to have a good score on all of the sections in just one sitting, due to test difficulty variations and what not. Someone could be a 29-30-ish scorer, yet do well on one section on each of their tests, could be “superscored” into a the same score as me?</p>
<p>I don’t want to sound arrogant, but that’s just my viewpoint on the whole situation. Although superscoring helps a lot of kids, it also inadvertently disadvantages those who were able to score just as well in the same test.</p>
<p>Furman superscores the ACT.</p>
<p>I don’t know if these school where mentioned before but do Duke and penn ss the ACT?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No.</p>

<p>^So there is no definitive way for colleges to differentiate between a single-sitting score and a superscore?</p>
<p>Hmmm? You are sending all of your tests, so they can definitely differentiate between a single-sitting and a superscore, but will it have much of an effect? Nah.</p>
<p>So if I want a college to superscore my ACT scores, I would have to submit score reports from all test dates even though I’ve listed the scores on Common App. Darn, that would cost a lot of $.
Also, is it too late to submit scores even it’s past the deadline (I’ve submitted one, but want the college to superscore)?</p>
<p>Baylor University superscores both the SAT and ACT</p>
<p>Yeah, you have to send all of them if you want them to superscore it. Try sending in right now, there’s a high chance they will still get to look at it.</p>
<p>But call the university, just to confirm.</p>
<p>@elec, yes it is a fortune. But most top schools make you send them all anyways. I know some people don’t plan on sending all of their scores because they say the college won’t know, but I don’t think it can help as much as it could possibly hurt to withhold required information. </p>
<p>Does anyone know how average ACT’s look for schools that superscore? For instance, Cornell says their average is 29-32. If my superscore is a 34 but my composite is 31, what do they report?</p>
<p>Cornell doesn’t superscore composites, only subscores. So 31. Same as Carnegie Mellon.</p>
<p>For UNC (Chapel Hill) they asked for individual highest English, Math, and Writing scores (they have an individual application, not through the common app). Does that mean they kind-of superscore (they convert to SAT then superscore from there)?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Cj…quick question- what does superscoring subscores do? Do they look at the composite or do they look at the breakdown?</p>
