<p>So... my April ACT breakdown:</p>
<p>E: 35
M: 33
R: 33
S: 24
C: 31</p>
<p>Should I retake this? It was my second test (I would have a 32 superscored composite). I am planning on applying to Northwestern, American, UNC, and Mizzou.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Science is a killer… It depends on the rest of your stats. You’re already competitive at those schools, but you also have a composite that’s two points or more below 3 out of your four section scores. If you’re willing to work hard to improve on science then it’s probably worth retaking because it could help you at Northwestern.</p>
<p>Ouch. That Science section really hurt didn’t it?
Well a lot of people I know with 32’s have gotten into NU easy… The Science portion looks a bit weak in comparison to the other portions - that’s the only reason I would consider retaking it. But again, if your ECs and GPA are strong I’d say that a 31 is fine.</p>
<p>American does not superscore the ACT. I was told that at the information session. I think a lot of SAT-prominent schools do not superscore the ACT.</p>
<p>Yeah, my GPA’s a little below par for NU. Should I just leave the ACT as is and compensate in the SAT IIs? My first choice is Medill at NU (early decision), by the way.</p>
<p>Bump.</p>

<p>Retake it… that science score really kills your composite.</p>
<p>If you even get it up a few points your composite might go up.</p>
