<p>You’ve gotta be kidding me, Duke does superscore? I never thought universities superscored the ACT. I mean I knew some did but not the good ones like Wash. U, Duke, and Brown university.</p>

[kMz]

<p>Wow, I never knew that many highly-selective universities superscored the ACT. Good news! =)</p>

[RahoulVA]

<p>^Unless it’s somewhere in this thread, I want to see some proof, links, etc.</p>

[starbucks08]

<p>I got all the names from this thread itself.
Therefore, no hardcore proof.</p>

<p>Stanford does</p>

[JDHarms]

<p>Stanford doesn’t. Met with an admissions officer today. They simply take the highest composite score you send them.</p>

<p>MIT

While we do require the SAT Reasoning Test or ACT Plus Writing, we realize that some of you may also have taken older versions of these tests. In such circumstances, we will consider scores from each section of both the older and newer versions of the tests and use the highest score achieved in each section for our evaluation. This is also the case if you have taken the SAT Reasoning Test or ACT Plus Writing more than once. Since reporting multiple scores will not hurt you, we recommend that when you register to take tests, you ask for all of your scores to be reported to MIT.

<p>Columbia University: NO</p>

<p>

You may alternatively take the ACT Assessment, graded on a 36-point scale; if you take the test more than once, you will be evaluated on the highest composite score you receive.

<p>NYU: It’s kind of vague. It could mean either way.</p>

<p>

We will use your highest combined SAT scores or your highest ACT scores in evaluating your application.

<p>Georgetown does not.</p>

<p>

Georgetown accepts the ACT in lieu of the SAT. Applicants who take the ACT more than once will have their highest composite score considered in the evaluation process.

<p>Boston College: Considers all scores (very vague).</p>

<p>

All standardized tests are used for evaluation in the admission process and applicants are required to submit all standardized examinations by the required application deadline

<p>Has anyone confirmed brown? i’ve checked their website… nothing there…</p>

[ataraxis]

<p>^Nope. They (brown) dont. Confirmed. </p>

<p>

In response to your question, we do not “superscore” the ACT. What we are most interested in is the composite score and the separate writing score.
