Post bacc program ACT requirements? Do they superscore or only look at composite?

so i think i’m applying to post bacc programs and they all require ACT or SAT scores. I took the ACT three times and SAT subject test when I was in high school and my breakdown each time for ACT is as follows (English/Math/Reading/Science):

  1. 30/28/28/26 = 28 composite
  2. 26/27/31/28 = 28 composite
  3. 29/29/29/21 = 27 composite

Should I submit all of them or just submit one of them?

My percentiles were as follows for the first test: 90th overall percentile, 92nd for english, 91st for math, 84th for reading, and 87th for science.

My percentiles were as follows for the second test: 90th overall percentile, 82nd percentile, 88th math, 93rd reading, and 93rd for science.

My percentiles were as follows for the third test: 87th overall percentile, 90th percentile, 93rd percentile, 87th percentile, and 56th for science (yikes).

Should I submit all of them or which would would suggest sending if I had to submit only one score? I am thinking the 1st test score is the most balanced and shows high scores for Math and English. thoughts? Or do you suggest sending in the first TWO scores this way my breakdown would be (90th overall, 92nd english, 91st math, 93 reading, 93rd science)? Or submit all three and let them pick and choose each section?

Additionally, I took SAT math Level 2 subject test and scored a 730. Should I submit this as well?

Looking for advice. I would ideally want to be competitive for the formal post bacc programs.

The information about single sitting vs. superscoring from multiple sittings should be on the admissions pages of those programs you’re applying to. If it’s not or you cannot find the info, contact the admissions office of the specific program and ask.

Based on the experience of D2’s friend with formal post-baccs–the programs want a single sitting score.

ah i see. i will contact the office’s monday to find out. do you think from the 3 single sittings, the first one might be the most balanced and the one i should submit? or the second one where i have the highest reading and science grades (maybe more correlated to MCAT)? thoughts would be appreciated

I don’t think Score #1 vs Score #2 will make any substantivel difference in the outcome. (Acceptance/rejection). Selective post-baccs (and most of them aren’t) evaluate applicants holistically. Pick a score and try not to overthink it too much
