<p>So I recently visited Cornell and loved it. </p>

<p>I feel like I have a solid chance of getting accepted with a good fall of test taking. </p>

<p>My ACT is a 31 superstore right now. Does Cornell look at superscore or only one sitting? I'm taking it again in September and plan on a 32+</p>

<p>Does Cornell's college of arts and sciences only look at specific sections of the ACT?</p>

<p>I'm planning applying to the College of Arts & Sciences, and from reading off of the website, it's my understanding if you choose to submit ACT scores, you must also submit 2 SAT II scores. </p>

<p>I haven't taken any yet so I'm curious which ones I should take. Are their specific tests that this college of Cornell would like to see more than others? </p>

<p>Tests I'm considering taking, in preferable order, are:</p>

<p>US history (5 on APUSH)
Math I
Literature
Physics (3 on AP Physic B) </p>

<p>If anyone can give me some advice I would appreciate it.</p>

<p>The composite score is really all that matters. Cornell does superstore the ACT. What is your intended major? You should definitely take math ii and then another test of your choice, but if you will major in science or math then I recommend taking a science sat ii for your second sat ii.</p>

<p>My intended major is likely going to be something in the social sciences. </p>

<p>So if I submitted my scores from two different tests, and they combine to be a 31, that’s what they would consider my ACT score?</p>

<p>Any other thoughts?</p>
