<p>Heya fellow CC'ers</p>
<p>I took the ACT in the beginning of Junior year just for the heck of it (zilch studying, didnt even know what sections there were on it until i flipped open the booklet)</p>
<p>Anyway, i ended up with a 36 math, 35 reading, 35 writing (11 essay), and a 28 science (ow). My composite became a 33. Should I bother submitting this to colleges? I got a 2360 on my SAT's... and I don't feel like taking ACT's again. What do you guys suggest? Can it hurt/help?</p>
<p>depending where you're applying... definitely a big NO if you're applying to schools like caltech or mit.. good luck</p>
<p>Yeah, just submit your SAT...Science (24!!!) also brought me -WAAAY- down. I think it's because ACT Science isn't really science...it's...diagrams 101.</p>
<p>Well, first, how do colleges look at the ACT? I don't know much about it, but if they do the whole "highest in each section, regardless of how many sittings it took" deal, then I would say definitely take the ACT again, only focusing on science. A 35 or 36 on the ACT is really good, so I hear.</p>
<p>But on second thought, it doesn't really matter. They're going to know you're good from the 2360, which is basically the same as 2400.</p>
<p>The only university I know of specifically that combines subscores on the ACT is the U of TN system.</p>
<p>If you are applying to East Coast/West Coast schools, you should not send in your ACT unless your scores are very comparable (yours are not). And with a 2360, you don't need anything else.</p>
<p>If you do send the ACT, wouldn't the college just choose the set of scores (ACT or SAT) that best reflect your application?</p>
<p>With that high of an SAT score why even waste the extra money to send ACT scores. Don't bother with ACT the 2360 is high enough. After all you won't get in on test scores alone so why place so much emphasis on that one aspect when you are as high as you need to be with the SAT.</p>
