<p>Forgetting that my school administers a state-funded ACT test, I signed up for a separate one, took it with nearly no preparation, and got a 34. I was totally happy with it, but I had no choice but sit through another test the 4 months later and I got a 36 on it.
I also recently found out that I got a 2300 on the SAT. 720CR/800M/780W I would be fine with this if my CR score didn't suck...</p>
<p>So my questions are, should I send my second ACT score? Do colleges look at 36s differently from 33/34/35s? And if I sent my 36 after my 34, would that make me look like a standarized-test-obsessed, life-lacking overacheiver?
Also, should I send my SAT score? It's good, but my critical reading is not spectacular. Would it bring down my 36 ACT or support it?</p>
<p>Ur so stupid… “Will being one of the 600 kids that get a 36 each year look good!!!” I know the real reason you posted this. You want recognition. You want praise. If you are smart enough to get a 36 you should be smart enough with this decision. “Would it bring down my 36?” are u crazy??? It’s sly arogant people like you that **** me off sometimes.</p>
<p>Send both. the 2300 and the 36. Don’t be an idiot.</p>
<p>Sorry for ****ing you off. Can I be honest? I do receive recognition and praise, but I do not need it from anonymous posters on college confidential. Of course I know a 36 looks good, but I would like to think that someone takes my questions seriously. CR is one of the most important sections, so maybe a 720 would look bad to the schools I am hoping to get into. I guess I am flattered that you think my scores are good enough to send without thought, but please do not disregard my concerns as needy boasting. I am just as curious and worried about college as the rest of the posters on here.</p>
<p>-_- send both scores, neither of them will cause anything to look bad</p>
<p>Hahah olleger wins ■■■■■ of the year. Why would someone who wants praise and recognition post on an anonymous discussion board?</p>
<p>Seriously send both scores. Imo getting a 36 is a big deal, even bigger than a 2300. Send both though and then colleges can decide which one is more amazing.</p>
<p>A 36 is far more impressive than a 2300, but there’s no harm in sending both.</p>
<p>LOL I was in a bad mood. Eh. And it’s fun to ■■■■■ sometimes = D.</p>
<p>Plus, we need more info about what schools you are applying to. Midwest, just send ACT. Coast, send both.</p>
<p>I would say regardless of where you apply send only the act
a 36 is quite a step up from a 2300 (though both are good)
and for most colleges sticking with the act means you dont have to take sat II’s, though some still like it</p>
