I know Pomona takes your highest scores from each section into account for admission, but I don't think any school can do that for reporting.

I thought it didn't matter... I don't think schools can know whether you took the ACT 1 time or 500 times...
I think you send in the score you want... and thats the only score they know of...for ACT
am I wrong?

^^you are correct, but if a college DOES superscore, you should send at least two score ACT reports to that college, so you end up with a higher composite.
