Superscoring the ACT list

<p>Please add to the list as schools are discovered.
Superscoring is the use of the best subsection of the ACT when multiple testing dates are submitted to the school's admission department and the school recaluclates the composite.</p>

<p>Syracuse</p>

<p>Syracuse
Trinity University (San Antonio)</p>

<p>Where did you see that Syracuse superscores the ACT?</p>

<p>googling the words "superscoring the act" brings up the reference to Syracuse</p>

<p>I googled superscoring the act and did not find the reference to SU. I also reviewed their admissions web site and found no reference to superscoring the ACT.</p>

<p>If I heard correctly from the admissions counselor who visited my school, the University of Miami superscores.</p>

<p>Does NYU? I think they may.</p>

<p>SU's</a> own website says:
"Does Syracuse University weigh my application differently if I take the SAT or ACT more than once?
No, the Admissions Committee will consider the highest score you have achieved on either the SAT or ACT."</p>

<p>trinity in connecticut also does per momofaknight.</p>

<p>mrs f--that statement from syracuse can be parsed a million ways. best to get an email from the admit office to confirm.</p>

<p>Washington in St. Louis</p>

<p>recruiter said so</p>

<p>this is uncommon right?</p>

<p>it's hard to say it's unusual.</p>

<p>let's look at this thing from a business standpoint.</p>

<p>what can cause you to attract better rankings? better test scores?
how can you manipulate those scores? schools already do it for the SAT. Why not the ACT?
justify it due to the length of the tests? both are ridiculously long and tiring. </p>

<p>i think more do it than we are led to believe.</p>

<p>what top schools do it... i was searching some schools webpages and it was hard to find this information</p>

<p>i think you have to ask a rep/adcom directly. </p>

<p>It appears to be a trend. I don't think you'll find it at many websites.</p>

<p>the word in the Vanderbilt forum is that they also superscore</p>

<p>Stanford does I think. On their application form they ask for your best scores from each section and your best composite.</p>

<p>did you email them musictoad? (vanderbilt that is)</p>

<p>not yet.</p>

<p>i have a list of about 13 schools that I need to email.</p>

<p>Could you please tell me if/when you find out? My score goes from a 31 to a 34 if it is superscored. It would really help me out.</p>
