List of Colleges That Super Score the ACT

Applying to College

<p>I was just curious to see if there is any "official" list that has all of the schools which super score the ACT--meaning they look at the highest section from each test.</p>

<p>Example:
Test 1: English: 32; Math: 33; Reading: 25; Science: 27; Composite: 29
Test 2: English: 34; Math: 29; Reading: 30; Science: 24; Composite: 29
Super Score: English: 34; Math: 33; Reading: 30; Science: 27; Composite: 31</p>

<p>So far, the only colleges I know which super score are Amherst and Cornell.</p>

<p>Does anyone know of more? It would be nice to create an "official" CC list.</p>

<p>Cal Poly SLO–but the admissions person told me they add English and Math scores together.</p>

<p>University of the Pacific states on their website they add the highest scores together, however they only used SAT subscores as an example. But, they do have both ACT and SAT listed.</p>

<p>search on the SAT/ACT forum – there are plenty of posts on this subject. The short answer is that very few colleges do superscore the ACT. Two top ones that do are MIT and WashU. I think Cornell is a question mark, depending on college. I think the position of CAS is that “we will look at your highest individual scores…” which IMO is different than actually recomputing a new, superscored composite.</p>
