<p>Yeah that’s what I was saying, sorry if I was unclear. They explicitly state that each score sent in can only better your application. I, for example, sent in all my ACT test dates (2)and my SAT and on the ACES thingy (the page they give you to check what has been submitted and whatnot) it only listed my highest ACT composite and SAT sections. I would imagine (but don’t know for sure) that a similar screening occurs before admissions officers see the scores, similar to whether or not the applicant needs financial aid.</p>
<p>Also keep in mind that Duke converts standardized testing to a numerical 1-5 ranking (5 being the best). So there probably isn’t a whole lot of difference to be made with ACT subscores if the composite is the same or lower.</p>
