My dream school is UPENN just so you guys know what range I am in, but this is a more generic, and targeted to the overall admission process.
I scored a 34 composite on the ACT. 33 English, 35 Math, 36 Reading, 31 Science. Should I retake this if my goal is UPENN or any other competitive school? (I know its high enough but I am wondering if you guys think its worth putting in hours of work again to possibly raise that score)
Next, for subject tests I have an 800 in Math 2, which I will obviously send and not retake. The “problem” is math 1, which I scored a 750 on. I am wondering whether I should retake this, just keep the score and send it, or just not send the score all together.
Any other testing help would be nice if you have it. Feel free to leave your links and I will chance back or whatever you need.
Thanks
Bump. The deadline to register is coming up and I just want to see if the consensus has remained the same. Do you guys think its worth taking another shot? leave your links if you want to be chanced
I would not retake the ACT. However, you should be aware that you will have to submit all of the SAT tests you have taken. I believe this includes SAT2 tests. Per Penn’s website:
Score Choice: Penn requires applicants to submit their entire testing history; we do not participate in Score Choice. If applicants have taken both the SAT and the ACT, they must submit their testing history from both exams.
SAT vs. ACT: No preference is given to the SAT or the ACT. If an applicant submits both tests, we will pay attention to the higher score from either test.
Superscoring: For the SAT, we will use the highest individual Critical Reading, Math, and Writing scores across test sittings. For the ACT, we consider the highest composite available. In other words, we “superscore” for the SAT, but we do not “superscore” for the ACT.
