All right, I was wondering, does Barnard superscore the ACT?
And how about the SAT?

Thanks everyone!

This is taken from the FAQ section from the admissions section of the Barnard web page:

Q: What standardized tests does Barnard require for first-year applicants?
A: We require the SAT Reasoning Test and two SAT Subject Tests of your choice OR the ACT with writing option. When evaluating applications, we always look at the highest combination of scores ONLY. International students for whom English is not their primary language of instruction or who have studied in English for less than five years must submit results from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exam in addition to required SAT or ACT testing.

oh, thank you!

so that's a yes, right? or a no? does 'highest combination of scores only' mean highest sitting combo? *scratches head* maybe i'm overanalyzing.

thanks! i just hope whatever it means works in my favor haha.

the highest combination of scores means the highest individual scores combined from your different "sittings". So yes, they do "superscore" them.
