So I’m planning on applying to Illinois Institute of Technology and I should have my app sent out before the early action deadline. I took the ACT for the last time yesterday, and I expect the results to be back before the deadline on December 1st. I’ve heard this college superscores, and a representative from the college also said they do. I’ve taken the ACT twice before. My ACT score for math was a 32 for one of the times I took it. The 25th/75th percentile at the school is 26/33 (which puts me almost at the 75th percentile. My ACT for English was 27, and the 25th/75th percentile at the school is 24/31 (about 50th percentile). My ACT composite both times was actually 26. The ACT composite 25th/75th percentile is 25/30 (so closer to the lower 25th percentile).
Now, as I look online, I can’t find the percentiles for Reading or Science. My reading scores on the ACT were never that high, which is why my composite was so low. I got a 19 last time I took it (I got a 23 the first time). Science I got a 27 last time. The fact that I can’t find these percentiles make me feel like this college doesn’t really care as much about these parts of the ACT. It would make sense considering how engineering schools often look for people strong in math (which I am). However, I can’t be too sure about something like this.
Does anyone know if colleges tend to look more for a high Math ACT subscore when accepting engineering students?
