Hey all, I'm a junior planning to take the ACT multiple times to increase my chances of getting a good score. I heard that some colleges accept superscores for the ACT, so I wanted to know if that's true and which colleges might do that. Thanks in advance.
Yes, many colleges do accept superscores for the ACT. Superscoring is the process of combining your best individual section scores from multiple test dates to create a new composite score. Each college and university has its own policy regarding superscoring, and some may require that you send all of your test scores to be considered for a superscore. It's important to research the specific schools you're interested in to understand their superscoring policies.
Some examples of colleges and universities that accept ACT superscores:
1. Boston College
2. Bowdoin College
3. Duke University
4. Emory University
5. Johns Hopkins University
6. Massachusetts Institute of Technology
7. New York University
8. Stanford University
9 University of Georgia
There are many more, so always remember to check the superscoring policy of each school on your list. Keep in mind that test score policies can change, and it's essential to verify the current information on the school's website or by reaching out to their admissions office.
Good luck on your ACT exams, and I hope this information helps as you continue with your college application process!
