I've always been under the impression that they Super score the SAT, but not the ACT?

On the website? I looked it up but couldn't find anything. Could you provide a link? I'm really hoping they superscore because my highest composite is a 31.25, and my superscore is a 33. Big difference.

I asked a rep at a college fair about this, they don't superscore the ACT, just the SAT.

I emailed the admissions people and got this reply: "Thank you for your interest in Cornell University. In reviewing applications, Cornell admissions selection committees use your highest sub scores for the SAT/ACT and SAT Subject Tests, regardless of how many times you have taken the exam or whether your highest scores come from SAT/ACT exams completed on different dates. Cornell does not participate in score choice-we require all scores be sent to us. We will create the best possible scenario out of your individual scores for consideration for admission."

Also this site lists cornell as superscoring the "act and sat" so I'm assuming that they do take your best subscores.

In that link you posted, under the superscore column, do you know what the difference is between "ACT and SAT" and "ACT and SAT Composite"?
