<p>I just got back my second set of ACT scores. </p>
<p>The first time I took it, I recieved a 35 (35 E, 36 M, 34 R, 35 S, 10 Essay)</p>
<p>Second time: 35 (35 E, 34 M, 36 R, 33 S, 12 Essay)</p>
<p>Obviously they're basically the same. Technically the first one was higher, but the essay from the second one was fantastic. The question becomes: should I send both? Just one? Or do it on a school-by-school basis?</p>
<p>Send both… they’re a superscored 36 composite. Congrats.</p>
<p>Grats. Yeah I just got a 36 composite first try! but I’m afraid my essay will be graded badly, as I used 3 paragraphs (intro/indepth thesis/MOD + BODY + short conclusion)</p>
<p>Yeah, I tried something a bit more creative the first time too. I got a 10. I went with the straightforward, dull, unoriginal five paragraph essay the second time. I got a 12. What does that tell you?</p>
<p>Congrats on the 36 :)</p>
