Do highly selective colleges look at individual ACT scores

Let me rephrase my question.

He has a super composite score of 36 and having individual scores in either 35 or 36. For the test where he got a composite score of 35 (his best one), both Math and Science scores are 33. Does he have to retake the ACT to get a better score in both Math and Science and composite either being at 35 or higher so the ACT score won’t be a negative factor when the admission office is doing a holistic review? I understand that various other factors will come into play as part of the admission process and want to know (if anyone knows) if the lower individual scores especially STEM ones will reduce his chances.

Yes, the schools he is looking at are University of Chicago, Northwestern, Washu, Vanderbilt, University of Michigan and Direct Med programs.

Hope it clarifies.
