Does sending all your ACT scores to a school lower your chances?

I submitted my app to vandy in which I sent in a 33 ACT. However, on the most recent test i took, i got a 31 (due to time mismanagement). If 33 isn’t my most recent score, and 31 is, would that reduce my chances? or would they just consider my highest compostite? Also, the very first act i took i got a 29, but my math was a 33 (my highest math score so far), so i sent that score in as well. Again, will the 29 also affect my chances, even though it was my first ACT?

Thanks

Their policy is that they consider the higest score for ACT (https://admissions.vanderbilt.edu/quickguide/ see the “Score Choice and Superscoring Policy” section) so you should be fine - they’ll probably consider the 33. I’m not sure whether they see the older scores in your packet though.
