DESPERATELY need honest, good advice about ACT Scores sending to TOP schools

Applying to College
1

<p>I took two ACTs:</p>

<p>COMPOSITE A: 33
36 English
36 Math
34 Reading
27 Science
COMPOSITE B: 35
36 English
35 Math
33 Reading
35 Science</p>

<p>Harvard, Princeton, Yale, MIT, Dartmouth, etc...they all superscore ACT scores by hand.
I NEED DIRE HELP with deciding whether to send both scores (superscore 35) or just Composite B (also a 35) to these schools.</p>

<p>Sending both:
-Shows I have capabilities to get a 36 English, 36 Math, 34 Reading, and 35 Science
-Shows my 27 on Science which was honestly due to bubbling problems</p>

<p>Only Comp B:
-Shows I can get a great score in one sitting
-Shows only my lower scores on Math and Reading</p>

<p>I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND. I may sound super snobby posting this up, but as a low income student with great academic potential, the decision would be definitely major.
I just need this community, full of experienced adults and fellow students, to give me some advice. Please and thank you so much!</p>

<p>Definitely send the second one, send the first one if they ask for all score or superscore. In any case, self report the best section scores.</p>

<p>Send both. You’re over thinking this. You did great.</p>

4

<p>Don’t waste your money on sending both. Just send the second.</p>

5

<p>You HAVE to send both to Y.</p>

<p>There is no downside to sending both if you choose to do so. Clearly the 27 Science was an outlier. Admissions people have seen far worse and they do understand that kids have off days. And a 1 pt swing on the other scores merely means that you are consistent - that’s like one more question wrong on each section - no biggie. </p>

<p>The differences between the two tests will not make you or break you into any school. Relax. You will or won’t get in based on some far larger issue that you can’t even anticipate and will never know about. </p>

<p>Now you can tense up.</p>
