<p>...the ACT. </p>

<p>I checked everywhere and found mixed results. HOWEVER, Stanford old FAQ cache (<a href="http://ask.stanford.edu/search?q=cache:CH4bSl0qEZMJ:admission.stanford.edu/applying/1_8_faqs.html+We+will+mix+and+match+scores&access=p&output=xml_no_dtd&ie=UTF-8&lr=&client=uga-fao-vis&num=10&site=uga-fao-vis&proxystylesheet=uga-fao-vis&oe=ISO-8859-1%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://ask.stanford.edu/search?q=cache:CH4bSl0qEZMJ:admission.stanford.edu/applying/1_8_faqs.html+We+will+mix+and+match+scores&access=p&output=xml_no_dtd&ie=UTF-8&lr=&client=uga-fao-vis&num=10&site=uga-fao-vis&proxystylesheet=uga-fao-vis&oe=ISO-8859-1&lt;/a&gt;) states that they will "mix and match" ACT scores.</p>

<p>*Does this policy still apply? Does Stanford still superscore?? *</p>

<p>My scores would 34 superscored. Otherwise, 32.</p>

<p>Please post if you know anything...thanks in advance :)</p>

<p>Yes. But why not call the admissions office and confirm?
Sorry- I posted at the same time as above.</p>

3

<p>yes, I called earlier in the season.</p>

<p>curious77: Because it’s saturday, I just took the ACT again, and I need a peace of mind :). If I didn’t get any confirmations I would’ve called in ;)</p>

<p>BTW, thank you both for the replies! Yay.</p>

<p>Still call on Monday. Don’t rely on cc posters. We have been known to be wrong.
34 is a great score!</p>

<p>Strange, I talked face to face with an admissions officer today, and she said that they do not superscore at all, but simply take the highest single-sitting composite. Oh well.</p>

7

<p>He didn’t get a 34 but a 32. Still a 32 is the top 1% and is good enough to get in.</p>

8

<p>Okay, so I called in. They told me they take the highest composite (so they dont superscore) and take the highest writing score. So I guess they “superscore” the writing section and take the highest total composite..</p>

<p>**Oh well. 32 is good enough to get in if I have the grades & ECs, right?</p>

<p>AND would I have to separately send both score reports to stanford then? **Because I’m sure I did better on this writing section..</p>

<p>BTW, thanks for everyone who responded.</p>

<p>hey all,
i had a stanford rep visit our school like a week ago,
he says alwyas put ALL your scores.
not only does stanford say they want it (althoguh for ACT they wont know if you dont send it)
he told us that in front of the committee
he will argue for you using your BEST score
so even if on one time u got say, 36 on one math and then 30 on the second but u did better overall on the second
of course he will take your 36 for that first one and go, look, this person did get a 36 once!
so just put all of them, it can’t hurt.</p>

<p>srry to steal the thread, but do any of you know whether stanford looks at freshman year gpa?</p>

11

<p>^ No. They dont look at freshmen year grades..</p>

12

<p>Yes, they superscore.</p>
