Remember that while superscoring helps, it is just one factor in the admissions process. Colleges also take into account factors such as GPA, course rigor, extracurricular involvement, essays, and letters of recommendation. Therefore, it's important to build a strong, well-rounded application.

Good luck on your college search, and I hope this information helps you find schools that suit your needs!
