Question about submitting my ACT scores

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I just have a quick question about my ACT scores. Basically, I have taken it twice. I got a 32 the first time, and I just took it again last Saturday; however, in a fit of laziness, I opted to take it without the writing portion. I didn't even think about colleges requiring the writing portion. I feel like I did much better on this most recent test, so my question is will colleges look at my writing score from my first test and my other marks for both tests if I submit both? </p>

<p>I believe I only got an 8 on my essay, which is okay but certainly unimpressive. I can't take the test again in time for my early action applications, so I am quite worried about this (I am taking the SAT soon though). I am planning on applying to Georgia Tech, UChicago, Dartmouth, and a few other colleges of similar merit, so based on that how concerned should I be?</p>

<p>Any info would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>UChicago accepts ACT without writing. Gtech and Dartmouth, like many colleges, do not tell you one way or the other on their sites what they do with an ACT test without writing if you also submit one with writing and the only way to find out is to contact the schools.</p>
