"For students submitting ACT scores to meet our testing requirements, we will consider individual subject scores in our evaluation process, but will focus our evaluation on one’s composite score (with or without the Writing test). As a result, we do not “superscore” subject scores to create a new composite score for our applicants. "
@gormar099 but the same website had this to say as well
"With regard to the SAT, NYU participates in Score Choice, enabling you to elect which tests you want to send to NYU. If you take the SAT multiple times, we will only review the highest Critical Reading, Math, and Writing scores you submit, regardless of test dates, creating the highest possible composite score for you in our evaluation process.
For the ACT, we will review the highest composite ACT score, regardless of test dates. "
They say they create a new composite score with the highest section of individual subject scores regardless of test dates, that sounds a lot like superscoring even though they don’t superscore which confuses me.
That’s talking about the SAT. Also as far as I know, every college, and by that same logic, no college superscores. What I mean by that is you cannot just send in your best scores from each subject, you have to send in all your scores so they’ll see the best and worst from each subject. As far as whether they officially superscore, they do not, but they’ll look at all of your scores.
The SAT and ACT are two different tests.
