Deciding whether or not to send ACT Scores

Colleges & Universities Wesleyan University

I scored a 29 on each of my ACT testings, but the superscore is a 30. I know Wesleyan is a bit of a longshot for me, but I am really set on applying and want to maximize my chances. So does a 30 superscore put me at a distinct disadvantage? Or is it average enough to not harm me?

Background on my application:

GPA is 3.75 UW, Weighted is 4.35

APs: 5 Lang, 5 APUSH, 5 World Hist, 4 Microeconomics (self-study)
I will be taking 5 APs this year. (Comp Gove (self-study), Stats, Bio, Lit, Psych)

Core ECs:
-Co-Chair of committee that planned weekend events for youth in Ohio and West Virginia, doing regional (13 states) organizing now. (for Unitarian Universalist churches)
-TEDxYouth Manager
-Supervised production of original play with local theater company
-Co-Editor of school newspaper

I would seriously consider not sending your ACT. I don’t think it puts you at a disadvantage but it does you no favors. If it’s between you and someone with a higher score, they’ll likely get the nod. Otherwise, your stats and ECs look pretty good. (Good luck from a fellow UU!)

Thanks for the response. After looking a bit more into the Wesleyan admissions page, it is clear that going test optional is probably the best choice.
