Standardized Test Score Question!!!

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University
1

<p>Hello, I am requesting advice about my test scores. I am unsure whether to send my ACT score or my both my ACT and SAT scores (I'm afriad my SAT might weigh me down). I am going to take both the US and Math 1 SAT IIs. Thanks for your time!</p>

<p>p.s. I am going to apply ED to CALS (communication) or maybbbbbbe Human Ecology</p>

<p>ACT
Feb:
29 E (9 on essay), 29 M, 36 R, 23 S (lol)...29 composite
April:
31 E (9 on essay), 31 M, 33 R, 32 S...32 composite</p>

<p>SAT
Jan:
680 CR, 680 M, 640 W (9 on essay)
March:
690 CR, 700 M, 720 W (11 on essay)
May: went down :(
630 CR, 680 M, 750 W (10 on essay)</p>

<p>Superscore: 690 CR, 700 M, 750 W = 2140/2400 or 1390/1600 :(</p>

<p>send it all. They superscore. And your SAT certainly is not bad. It’s really quite good. I got a 32 on the ACT but a 2010 SAT superscore and I got in.</p>

3

<p>Do they superscore the ACT (that way i would have a 33)…if so, will the 23 in science hurt me?</p>

4

<p>Most colleges just take your highest composite for the ACT, I think.</p>

5

<p>Does that mean that my ACT, in the minds’ of the Cornell admins, is…
31 E, 31 M, 36 R, 32 S for a 33 composite?</p>

6

<p>from what I know, it is superscored before it ever reaches the adcom’s hands</p>

7

<p>I was told that they will take your best ACT for each section when looking at it, but for the composite will only take your highest, not reaverage it from your superscore.</p>

8

<p>I got in with a 2150, so ur definitely in the game.</p>

9

<p>What did you get out of 1600, philoexian?</p>

10

<p>It’s actually impossible to superscore the ACT since the ACT will only send in your score report from one testing date, when you send your scores you choose which month to send.</p>

<p>Thank you, roneald. I think I’m going to send both scores…it’s not like a 2140 or a 1390 is bad. Thanks for the advice everyone. Plus I’m applying ED as a legacy so those two factors won’t hurt!</p>

<p>ACT’s are not superscored at Cornell
they simply take the single highest composite (your 32)</p>

<p>good luck</p>
