<p>from multiple sittings, as they do with the SATs? Most colleges, including all elites, will take one's highest math score and ones highest verbal score from different administrations of the SAT. Thus, for example if a student took the old SAT twice, each time scoring a combined 1200, the first time with an 800 in math, 400 in Verbal, the second time vice versa, most colleges would treat her as having scored a perfect 1600. Does the same practice hold for the ACT subsets? Please advise.</p>
<p>negative -- the only school I'm aware of that will mix and match ACT subscores is WashU in St.L.</p>
<p>Stanford does as well.</p>
<p>On what do you base your response?</p>
<p>CAN you provide a URL?</p>
<p>I didn't find it online. There was a thread on the Stanford board asking the same question and people were trying to read into the (quite vague) info on their website. I got over it, and just called. I spoke with an admission officer who confirmed this policy.</p>
<p>so from where does the conventional wisdom that most schools dont mix and match come?</p>
<p>Any one have any info on how Ivies treat this issue?</p>
<p>From the tour I took at Yale, they said they did not mix subscores. Most schools (with the exception of a few, no real logic to it- not "just the good schools" or "just the bad schools") do not mix subscores. Some almost ignore science, others weight it equally. This is because of the fact that SATs do not have science (although ACT science is really not science-knowledge based), so it would not be fair to compare an ACT score w/science to an SAT score.</p>
<p>How positive are you that WUSTL will mix and match ACT scores?</p>
<p>is your opinion about 'most schools" based on first hand knowledge a la Yale?</p>
<p>Every score I have been to where someone has asked (probably 10ish of the 20some I've visited), they've said no to the mixing. I can't tell you for certain which they are at this point (I only took ACTs once, so I wasn't really paying that much attention- I visited Yale before I took ACTs so I didn't know I'd be confident with my score).</p>
<p>The Colgate admission staff considers the highest ACT composite score and does not mix test scores from different dates.</p>

<p>thanks czechitout</p>
<p>roadrunner.......suggest you email WUSTL directly with the question.....they'll tell you</p>
