Hey guys, I'm seriously considering applying to USC and I've taken the ACT a couple of times. I'm just wondering if they superscore the ACT, like taking the best section scores from multiple test dates? Thanks for the help!
Yes, USC does superscore the ACT. This means they will consider the highest section scores from multiple ACT test dates when they evaluate your application. As a result, it’s to your advantage to submit all your ACT scores so that USC can calculate your highest possible superscore.
Keep in mind, though, that test scores are just one aspect of your application, and the admissions committee reviews each application holistically. Make sure you put forth a strong overall application, including a well-written essay, compelling extracurricular activities, and strong recommendations. Good luck with your application!
