<p>I'm applying to some of the top colleges such as Cornell, U penn etc. My ACT scores are 32, 28, 26</p>
<p>Although colleges say they will make the best case out of your scores, I don't know if it looks bad when your lowest score is 26. Do they really consider your highest score?</p>
<p>"Do they really consider your highest score? " Why wouldn’t they?</p>
<p>When did you get your 26? The first time you took it? As a Sophomore? It’s OK that you’ve improved. You might be eventually rejected for a wide number of issues that have nothing to do with your scores. Why worry about something that’s water under the bridge. Good luck to you.</p>
<p>26 on recent Dec ACT which was my last one.</p>
<p>25, 24, 34…26 composite, sigh. Test prep here we come. Looks like the SAT was better for shellz-son. I was hoping we’d luck out and not have to prep, but that darn math score just won’t cooperate on either test. My history-social science kid needs some serious help, but his scores do correlate well with his current math grades…so is it worth pushing for a higher ACT/SAT if he is only going to get a C in precalculus? </p>
<p>Btw, I heard some colleges will mix-match sub scores from both tests…use the best of SAT with the best of ACT. Fact or fiction?</p>
