<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I'm trying to send my ACT scores to Rice University but I am not sure about their policy. I read on their website that they only look at the highest composite ACT score, so I sent them only my best score even though I took it multiple times. Is that okay or do I need to send all my scores?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>The highest composite score means that they take the best score per section from your attempts and combine it.</p>
<p>Antarius, I respectfully disagree. The ACT composite score can be described as the “average” score of the sections from one test date.</p>

<p>“Rice uses the highest scores from any sitting on the SAT in order to consider each applicant’s most positive test results. Recognizing that this policy could disadvantage those students who cannot afford repeated testing or expensive test prep coaching, we believe a comprehensive testing history provides us with the appropriate context required for making a fair judgment of what the test scores mean in a holistic admission process. Therefore, we require all applicants submitting the SAT to submit all scores to Rice. The ACT does not condone splitting and combining subscores from multiple sittings, therefore, it is Rice’s policy to use the highest ACT composite score in admission consideration.”</p>
<p>Well, I take that back then. Thanks for the info desilu.</p>
