<p>Hi guys</p>

<p>So I just took my ACT and my composite core is a 34. However, my scores for each section were English 35, Math 36, Science 34 but my reading was 29 =(. Im hoping to apply to really competitive schools next year and a couple of Ivies.Do colleges really care about the section score or are they more concerned about the composite score? Is 29 that bad and should I retake it?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I think you should focus on other aspects if you want to go to an ivy.</p>

<p>Once you hit about a 33, it doesn’t really help you all that much to try to get higher scores if you are applying to competitive colleges. They are primarily most concerned with the composite score.</p>

<p>If you think you can do better, study for it and then retake. But there are other things you can do to stand out instead of having a point higher ACT :P</p>
