<p>I will be applying to Wellesley. I have taken the ACT twice and my scores were the folowing:</p>
<p>Test 1 - Composite 28
English 29
Math 32
Reading 28
Science 23</p>
<p>Test 2 - Composite 29
English 32
Math 31
Reading 26
Science 25</p>
<p>I am trying to decide if I should send both sets of ACT scores to Wellesley or should I send only the test 2 score. My reasoning for sending in both sets of scores is that my reading score is higher in the first test. On the other hand, my science score is significantly lower in test 1. </p>
<p>I would appreciate any thoughts and suggestions. Thank you.</p>
<p>I believe they take the highest individual scores from all the test dates and put them together to make a composite score. Have you double-checked on their website to see what they say? </p>
<p>No matter what, I think it is expected that you will tell them all of your scores.</p>
<p>I agree with Marama, send both of your scores, it won’t hurt you :)</p>
<p>hello Marama, how’s it’s going? Are you and your daughter enjoying the acceptance AND the holiday? :)) oh and is your daughter on the FB page? Everyone is getting to know each other on there, it’s wonderful!</p>
<p>I had a similar problem with my testing except it was with SAT.
My Reading score was a 640 in the first and a 730 in the second and while my superscore became 20 points higher than second composite (both superscore and second composite were in 2200s… while first testing alone was low low 2100s), I chose to send only the second. I preferred they think one time good student, rather than two times toil. (Idk if that statement makes sense)</p>
<p>It’s just even though the superscore was higher, and wellesley sees only the highest from each category, they’ll still be glancing at all the scores right? And I didn’t want them to notice I ever had a 640 in the first place.</p>
<p>I am sure no school would hold it against you that you had relatively weak scores from one test date, but I think they could DEFINITELY hold it against you if they discovered you had deliberately withheld test scores from them. I would like to caution you against doing such a thing. Remember, the Common App clearly asks what your scores were on each of your exam dates. </p>
<p>Perhaps you might consider sending an e-mail to Admissions rectifying this “oversight.” I firmly believe honesty is the best policy when it comes to college admissions. Why risk getting found out?</p>
<p>Hi, SinFused! </p>
<p>My daughter is thrilled to have been accepted, but running to catch up on her studies this winter break. Her school really piles on the work. She has a general idea of what’s going on here on CC and FB, though, because I keep her up to date on all the latest postings.</p>
<p>But marama, Wellesley doesn’t specify that they need test scores from all dates! I wasn’t talking about schools that specifically require all test scores (Yale comes to mind…my friends were groaning over this). Wellesley allows us to use Score Choice doesn’t it? That’s what I inferred from the collegeboard website. See!
They don’t require it. Of course for schools that specifically state that it is required to submit all scores (like Pomona), I have submitted all. :)</p>
