Do (specific) colleges always look at Composite ACT or Individual Scores?

<p>I scored 28 on ACT. Definitely was hoping for a way higher score (31/32), I am trying to apply to UCs and a few others. </p>

<p>I understand that some schools only look at the overall ACT score, while others pick and choose from multiple ACTs (super scores) and even more will just omit specific sections of tests depending on the program being applied to.</p>

<hr>

<p>I am planning to apply to these schools (broad list, nothing narrowed down yet because I am a junior right now)</p>

<p>UCs (Berkeley!!, Davis, SD, Santa Cruz, maybe Irvine or LA)
Northwestern (main reason I wanted a higher score)
U of Chicago
U of Toronto (I'm a Canadian, tuition is way less expensive up there for Canadians!)
U of British Columbia
McGill
Babson
Baylor
U of Oregon (backup school)
Maybe LMU, Pepperdine, or University of San Francisco (private catholic school)</p>

<h2>Planning on going into Business (strategic mgmt or information systems) with maybe a minor in computer science or something.</h2>

<p>My ACT score breaks down as follows:</p>

<p>English 31
Math 26
Science 26 (felt so rushed!)
Reading 30</p>

<h2>Writing 10 of 12</h2>

<p>Any insight for these colleges and whether they look at composite only or the individual scores? I know it is crazy to think I want to apply to Computer Science with a low math score, but I really am good at math... I don't know what happened there. I am thinking that since I want a business major, they might take my Eng/Reading/Math scores with most weight for my admission?</p>

<p>AP Student (including rare ones like computer science and spanish language, both as a junior), 4.45 GPA, 7 APs through senior year, at a really hard high school (ranked in the top 5% of California public schools)</p>

<p>I know this question exists on this forum, but they either had no answers or insufficient information for Canadian schools. I know this is such a basic post, but no one around me has experience at all.</p>

<p>Any information is greatly appreciated.</p>
