<p>So I am applying to some Ivies (Harvard SCEA) and I am just curious, if I have one ACT score of 31 (E: 34, M:30, R:34, S:27, Essay 12/12) and another score of (okay I am just guessing here. I have not received the actual results yet, but I would like to plan ahead. If I am completely wrong which I very well may be, then it will not have hurt me to ask this anyway) a 33 with everything being a bit higher but my Essay score having dropped a lot, like to an 8 or so, which score should I send, since they do not superscore the ACT, and the writing portion is taken into consideration.</p>
<p>I know, I am lame. I just did not study at all for the essay because the first time I did not study either. But this time, on test day I was so worn out by the time that I wrote the actual essay that I just...blanked. Like panicked. It was like a page and a half of writing total, and my points were not very solid. my fourth paragraph was my conclusion and I was only 2 sentences in (2 very, very shaky sentences---kind of just restated the last sentence from my second point twice) and had written half of another sentence when they called time. So I had to stop after something like, "In order for teens and parents to bond, they must recieve-" and that was all she wrote. </p>
<p>I am so mad at myself but I do not plan on retaking the ACT a third time. So what should I do?</p>
<p>I plan to major in Poli Sci by the way...</p>
