Is worse ACT score worth sending if it bring my superscore up to 34?

<p>I took the ACT on October and December. Here you have my scores:</p>

<p>Oct:
C: 32
E: 26
M: 36
R: 32
S: 33
W: 6
E/W: 23</p>

<p>Dec:
C: 33
E: 31
M: 36
R: 30
S: 36
W: 8
E/W: 29</p>

<p>As you can see, December test is definitely better except for a 2 point decline in the reading section. If I send both scores to my colleges, I would have a 34 composite superscored. 36 in math and 33 in science are great - admission officers will see that double 36 in these areas on December wasn't an accident. On the other hand, 26 in english and 6 in writing are terrible. What should I do? Is the 34 superscore worth it? I'm applying to Ivies, MIT and top LACs.</p>

<p>Additionally, I've already mentioned my 32 in the previous reading in the Common Application. Will it be ok if I send only December scores then?</p>

<p>Hello, ivydreamerrrrrrr~~.
Good job on the international ACT lol. Seems like the thunder cloud is easier than I thought. </p>

<p>For MIT, definitely send all scores. I went to visit and they said they superscore all sub-scores but your composite.</p>

<p>So your score would be C: 33 E: 31 M: 36 R: 32 S: 36 E: 29</p>

<p>For other schools I don’t know. You should email the admissions office and ask them. I recommend just sending the 33 because the English is much better, and most colleges don’t care about reading and science at all…</p>

<p>Indeed, I was lucky that day :slight_smile:
Ok, I’ll send both scores to MIT, Amherst (because 32 in reading is a toefl waiver) and Yale (because they don’t accept the score choice).
2 points decline in reading isn’t much I suppose. Especially since I’m international.
Thank you.</p>
