Hi guys. I am a stressed senior who got a 29 in every single ACT test. (This wall of 30....)
I am applying by early app to Umich, UIUC, Northwestern, Gatech.
But after searching for hours, I found out that while every colleges that I apply do superscore, Umich doesn't...

Question:
-Does this mean that even if I send multiple scores to U mich, they look at the one with highest composite???? Problem here... what if I send multiple 29's??

-IF the admission officer considers only ONE highest score, what test score should I send?? What ACT scores from below will best express my merit to them?
(English/Math/Reading/Science/writing/Writing & English)

a. (27/35/20/35/8/26) Composite: 29; February 2012

b. (31/31/25/29/6/27) Composite: 29; September 2012

c. (29/35/21/30/6/25) Composite: 29; June 2012

To add some comments for each test,
(a) has the highest math/science scores;
(b) has the highest english/reading scores;
(c) is the mixed version of (a) and (b)...

==Please advise me with sending scores... What will best express me to UMich?

Thank you for you time reading this thread!!

P.S I would appreciate it if you add comments on my chances for UMich ENGINEERING with this score and my EC, GPA, etc. at this link:

Chance me to Northwestern Univ.

THANKS AGAIN!!! AND GOOD LUCK FOR ALL GRADUATING SENIORS!

I would send in the first score report, especially if you are applying to the engineering school, because you math and science scores are so high. They probably won't focus as much on the reading and english sections. Also, your essay is highest in the first score.

too early to bump???

We are having a similar problem, especially since the common app asks for the highest scores from all tests for the act, yet some colleges like Rice only want one sitting sent. What to do? Won't they wonder why your common app scores don't match the ones you sent? I feel for you regarding the hours of research about what schools superscore the act. Geesh, you'd think they would make it more clear. Any chance you could tell us what you have learned? I have learned that Baylor wants all scores sent and that Rice, the University of Iowa and University of Kentucky only want one sitting sent.

We've also learned some schools only look at the composite and others look at math and reading specifically. Good luck with what you decide.
