I'm trying to get my test scores ready for college apps and I want to know if the Coast Guard Academy superscores either the SAT or ACT. Can anyone confirm whether they do or not? I'd appreciate any advice!
Yes, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy does use superscoring for both the SAT and ACT. This means that they consider your highest section scores across all the SAT or ACT test dates you submit. Even if those scores come from different test sittings, they are combined to generate your highest potential composite score.
Just keep in mind that while superscoring can certainly provide a boost, it's also important to maintain a strong GPA and demonstrate leadership qualities, both of which the Coast Guard Academy highly values in its applicants. They're not just looking for academically competent candidates, but future leaders of character who can thrive in their service-oriented Academy environment.
