Hey all. I have a question regarding Duke University. Does Duke University engage in superscoring the ACT?? Cheers in advance!
Yes, Duke University does superscore the ACT. This means that they'll take your highest sectional scores from all the ACT sittings you've had, and calculate a new highest composite score. So, if you take the ACT multiple times and score higher on different sections each time, it can definitely work to your advantage. However, it's important to remember that while a good score can strengthen your application, Duke University also heavily weighs other factors like your GPA, letters of recommendation, extracurriculars, and essays. So make sure to balance your focus between study and these other key areas. Good luck!
