<p>One of my schools has a middle 50% ACT range of 30-34. Both of my composite scores are 30, but my superscore is 31. The school DOES superscore the ACT.</p>
<p>I was wondering if there was a big difference (like 2000 vs 2100 on the SAT) between those two scores. I know an extra ACT score report is $9, but I'm already putting a huge strain on my parents while applying to colleges (dad on disability, mom working for a family of 5). All of my fees are adding up.</p>
<p>If it makes a difference, the school wants the test scores to be sent by the ACT, but both scores show up on my transcript.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>If I were you, I'd send in the extra score report. A middle 50% range of 30-34 means the school must be quite competitive, and you really should make sure you have your absolute best application submitted.</p>
<p>By the way, is "this school" WUSTL? Just wondering because I'm applying there ED.</p>
<p>It's Amherst.</p>
<p>Well, if I get into Amherst, I suppose the nine dollars would have been worth it, haha.</p>
<p>It's like a 60 point SAT difference</p>
<p>^^^^^ that's hardly any difference.
but really though, 31 looks more "in line" with the 30-34.
you see, 30 is the "minimum."
then again, the whole 30-34 is the MIDDLE 50%.</p>
<p>Can you apply to ACT for a fee waiver based on your family's income?</p>
<p>I can apply for a fee waiver, but doesn't that mean I have to retake the test?</p>
<p>Actually I was wondering if you could apply for a fee waiver for sending the report but I looked on the ACT website and I guess not. Sorry. This is what it says on the website: </p>
<p>Fee waivers cover only the basic registration fee for your test option, including up to four college choices (if you provide valid codes when you register). Waivers do not cover the late registration fee, test date or test center changes, or any other fees or services.</p>
<p>I come from a low income family, so I know how money can be tight, but do you really want to risk your status at a university because of $9?</p>
