<p>If you’re applying for something math related then definitely</p>
<p>Your scores are all in or better than Bowdoin’s 25th to 75th percentile range according to the college’s 2012-2013 Common Data Set. Interestingly, for Bowdoin all three sections of the SAT have a 25th to 75th percentile range of 670 to 760. Your reading score is closer to the 25th percentile, your math score is above the 75th percentile, while your writing score is pretty much in the middle. Your 33 ACT is at the 75th percentile.</p>
<p>Translation: for Bowdoin, these scores are typical of recently enrolled students and I think that they certainly won’t hurt your application. A decision on whether or not to include them should be based on the totality of your application.</p>
<p>??</p>
<p>What wouldn’t you send your ACT? Are you thinking that it would hurt you in some way?</p>
<p>Those are good scores. I would think you should send them.</p>
