Question about how colleges look at the ACT

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hey guys, I'm not a ridiculous student that gets a 36 on the ACT. But I hope you still listen to my story. </p>

<p>I took the ACT twice. Both times I got a 29. However if you look at the subscores it shows something a bit different. </p>

<p>My first try I got a 34/31/29/23 with the 23 on science which I'm awful in.</p>

<p>My second try I basically did the same thing with a little improvement in everything but science---in which I actually went down in.</p>

<p>34/32/30/21 again with the 24 on science</p>

<p>My question is whether colleges will see that I'm strong in the important skills of math and English and judge me for that or will they just look at the 29 and think I'm just mediocre?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I think they look at just the 29</p>

<p>Most don't superscore, but any school that does "holistic admissions" does look at the subscores.</p>
