<p>I took the ACT with writing and got a 30 on it. I took the ACT without writing the second time and got a 33. My question is that will colleges that require the writing portion of the act take my 33 for admissions? In other words, can i send both scores to colleges or will the only take the ACT with writing? I really don't want to take it again.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure they won’t take the test without writing unless the school practices ACT superscoring which I believe is rare and I am almost positive Emory does not superscore. (I’m not sure so don’t take me as an expert)</p>
<p>yeah I’m int he same boat as you goft200. I don’t know why the ACT even offers without writing if colleges won’t accept it.
But I guess the new decision would whether it’s worth it to take them again or not?
Is Emory your #1? because it’s not mine and I most likely won’t take the ACT again.</p>
<p>does anyone else know anything about this? Emory is my number 1…We can’t take another act!</p>
<p>Should give them a call. They are always willing to help.</p>
<p>I emailed them and they said that they only accept ACT with writing, but a better question to ask would be if they focus on the highest composite score and the highest eng-writing score, if thats the case then it might work for both scores. But ya i have kinda the same problem so far emory and ucla both seem to only accept the act w-writing but I already got a perfect 12 on the essay on my previous ACT so i dont the see point of taking it again since its optional (colleges have to realize that) and since i got a perfect score on it.</p>
<p>they accept the ACT without writing if you’ve taken it with writing before. Your highest composite will be taken into consideration. i emailed an admissions counselor and she said my highest composite score was a 30 even though i took that one without writing.</p>
<p>Ah, I see thank you for the insight ScorpioChik I appreciate it haha. You just made my day with that comment, I was worried for a while that they would take my lower act with my writing and ignore my higher composite. Do you think that would apply to UC Berkeley and UCLA also?</p>
