<p>I know that while most schools will take only one ACT score, there are some that will combine an applicant's best subject scores from multiple test dates. University of Chicago is the only the school that I know of so far that does this. Do you guys know of any others that do, especially in the midwest? I would be psyched if Northwestern would see a 34 or 35 instead of a 33 (my ACT score is basically going to be my only asset in the admissions process). It would be great if any of you had more info on this.</p>
<p>Thanks, </p>

<p>I think you will have to read the policy of each indiviual school as most colleges do not take the composite scores from the act and combine your best sections, they look at the over all best scores from one sitting. </p>
<p>Remember unlike the SATs there is score choice so the student does have control over what they release.</p>

<p>based on a post by another parent, WashU mixes ACT subscores. But, I have not heard of any other college that does so. (Chicago is sort of an outlyer since Ted O'Neill has publicly expressed disdain for tests.)</p>
<p>I believe Trinity U in San Antonio will take the best subscores of the ACT and recalculate a composite.</p>
<p>I didn't know Chicago combined different ACT subscores. I can't find it on the website either.</p>
<p>More schools do combine but won't admit it publicly. It largely has to do with building a community and if they need to mix it up a bit, they will do so at their discretion and it's no one's business but theirs.</p>
<p>Umm where do you get that idea? Are you suggesting that they mix for some and not for others? I find that very hard to believe. If they are the adcom, they wouldn't mix the score of someone they wanted to admit, they'd just admit them.</p>
