Does sending this look bad?

Applying to College

<p>I have everything else going for me to get into Brown ED. I sincerely believe it, but my only weakness is my test scores. Thankfully, I'm a URM.... not that it's supposed to help. </p>

<p>I'm definitely sending my 29 on the ACT, but I originally scored a 26.
I have great essays, everything is sent & submitted, but is this going to look bad?</p>

<p>My English went from a 24 to a 34? Will that look good or bad?
My Science went from a 28 to a 25, which is why I decided to send the original 26, too.
My Math went from a 25 to a 28.
My Reading a 28 to a 30. </p>

<p>Overall, does it look good to improve extensively over a few months, and will they consider the fact that I originally scored a 28 in my science? I know they don't superscore, but it does look slightly better...</p>

<p>Unless a college superscores, I don’t think they consider the scores from the lower composite. If I understand the process correctly, they consider only the highest composite score.</p>

<p>And you have already submitted your application? Congratulations! I wish I could be done already…</p>

<p>Why would the 24 to 34 look bad?</p>

<p>Anyway, it will not look bad. It’s an improvement, although those test scores are really low for Brown (but being a URM is in fact supposed to help).</p>

<p>Well, the middle 50% is 29-33, which contains my 29… not that it’s good to be in the 25th percentile, but it certainly is better to be within the range rather than outside of it. </p>

<p>I am in fact taking it once more on October 22nd.</p>
