Should I send schools all 3 ACT's or just 2 for best chances?

Hi,

Here are the score layouts for the three ACT’s I took:

ACT 1
Composite: 27
English: 31
Math: 27
Reading: 27
Science: 24
Writing: 36

ACT 2
Composite: 31
English: 33
Math: 29
Reading: 30
Science: 31
Writing: 27

ACT 3
Composite: 31
English: 35
Math: 29
Reading: 32
Science: 28
Writing: 34

I was wondering if I should send colleges my first ACT. It’s only advantage is the 36 on writing, however, does that really make a difference if my 3rd ACT has a 34? Do you think colleges seeing the fact I got a 27 once is more harmful than whatever good the 36 on writing brings? If I superscore all three, I end with a composite of 32 and a writing of 36. I could just use the last two and have a superscore composite of 32 and writing of 34. What do you guys think is best?

Send the last two scores and disregard the first one. IMO a 34 is high enough and your first composite score of 27 can harm your chances.
