Question about colleges taking your highest ACT Score?

<p>Ok, I took the ACT in June for the first time with little prep. My dad signed me up for the ACT and saw you can send colleges scores for free before-hand without letting me know this until I saw my scores. Well, they were very horrible and I'm super embarrassed to say what I got. Basically, my problem was timing and I only finished 1 section....</p>

<p>So for example my dad sent it to all of my state schools and Emory....</p>

<p>I'm applying ED 2 Emory and my dad sent the score from that without knowing the score. Emory said they take your best ACT score. Do they mean the best of what you submitted? </p>

<p>Since July I have been working my a_ss off with correctness and timing and lately I have been scoring a composite score in the range of 28-32 now.</p>

<p>I totally fixed my previous timing issue. </p>

<p>Next time I take it I expect a score in that range. By submitting this score and them saying they tIe the best score in the application process, will they still judge me from the previous and first horrible score I got. </p>

<p>I know they said they take your best score, but because my dad submitted it without knowing over the summer I am scared this is going to screw me over in the decision process....</p>

<p>I'm applying to other private schools and Emory is my #1 choice and I actually just flew in yesterday and visited the campus today.</p>

<p>Am I worrying for nothing? Or should I be worried?</p>
