<p>I took the September 2012 ACT and received 36 english 36 math 36 reading 35 science with an overall composite 36. However, essay scores just came back and I received an 8/12 on it :(( How important are the essay scores? I was looking into colleges like Johns Hopkins, WashU St. Louis, Cornell, MIT, Harvard, Stanford etc... but I don't know which schools/if any give a lot of weight to the ACT essay.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry about it. Your composite is amazing. But I think your English score would no longer be a 36…</p>
<p>You got the same scores as me in everything! O.o
That’s so crazy haha. I was wondering about the essay portion too. I didn’t even finish writing it on the day of the test…</p>
