Stanford’s ACT superscoring policy is hard to understand. Is it to take the highest individual subscores and make a composite score from them or is it just to take the highest subscores into account and look at the highest actual composite score?
For the ACT, we will review all subscores and will focus on the highest Composite and the highest English scores from all test sittings.
No from there site is says they do not super score the composite.
Well I got a 29 and retook and got a 28 but got a 34 reading and my science went from a 24 to a 27. My super score is a 31, which is in their range of ACT scores. Why do you think they care about the highest sub scores if they don’t make a composite super score?
This is there new policy
Required testing:
ACT or SAT (Writing/Essay not required)
Stanford will accept scores from both the old SAT and the new SAT.
We will review applications from all students using either self-reported or official scores. If you would like to have official scores sent, it is fine to use the College Board’s Score Choice option or the equivalent offered by the ACT.
How to report your test scores:
We recommend that you simply self-report your highest scores in the testing section of the application. You can also have official scores sent to Stanford, but this is not required for us to review your application.
