<p>*don't think these two will care about my ACT score but whatev</p>
<p>Common app as well as most of the other schools' own apps only ask for three scores. Now, my highest subscores are all from the last three times I took it, so I figured that would work. But for the last three times, my score dropped a point and stayed there... would it look better if I included my first ACT score to show how much my score has changed? But if I include that score, they'll see my writing score rise and fall... MEH. Any advice?</p>
