Hi Help needed ! Should I send these scores?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi. Right now, I have 32 composite ACT, but at this time, I got like 33 math and 29 reading</p>

<p>The one that I took a month before, I got 36 on math and 30 reading.</p>

<p>Should I send both scores to University of Chicago and Duke just to let they know that</p>

<p>I got 36 math and 30 reading or should I just send the highest score.</p>

<p>A representative from Duke came to my school, and he surprisingly said that Duke does look at combined ACT !!! </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>bumpin somebody~!~</p>

<p>Wait I don't understand...are you saying you got a higher score the first time you took it? What was your composite score when you got the 36 and 30?</p>

<p>Sorry for the confusion</p>

<p>The first one I took, I got 30 composite with 36 math and 30 reading</p>

<p>The second one I took, I got 32 composite with 33 math 29 reading.</p>

<p>I would say send the 32, i don't think colleges really look at the subscores too closely i mean if you get a 32 you had to do pretty well on all the sections.</p>

6

<p>Send the 32.</p>

<p>Or...I'm not really familiar with the ACT...but can you not send both?</p>

7

<p>Sure you can send two but i doubt it will really help, sure you got a perfect score but the rest of the subscores weren't as good as your 32 so if i were you don't waste your money.</p>

8

<p>Hm...do a lot of schools superscore? If so, send both. If not, just send the 32.</p>

9

<p>Not as many as the SAT and i haven't really heard of too many top schools that superscore.</p>

10

<p>bumpin this need some clear opinions</p>

11

<p>If Duke really does superscore, then send both. If not, then just the 32.</p>

12

<p>Its best to always send the highest composite. So, go with the 32 for sure.</p>

13

<p>those of you who are telling me to send just 32,</p>

<p>are you guys saying it because it is waste of money or does Duke and other colleges</p>

<p>actually see it as bad?</p>

<p>BTW, thanks much for your opinions</p>

<p>I would say it's really a waste of money. No doubt 36 looks great but then again when an adcom is going through your app he/she is probably not gonna go through every subscore and even if they do the composite matters much more then 1 single subscore.</p>
