Hello, everyone! I'm applying to Cornell and I'd like to know if they superscore the ACT. Has anyone got an answer to this?
Yes, Cornell University does superscore the ACT. This means that the admissions office will consider the highest section scores from multiple ACT test dates and combine them to create a new, higher superscore. So, if you've taken the ACT multiple times, it's to your advantage, as Cornell will use your best individual section scores from each test administration when evaluating your application.
You should also keep in mind that Cornell is currently test-optional, which means that submitting standardized test scores like the SAT or ACT is not required. However, if you feel that your ACT scores accurately represent your academic abilities and strengths, you can choose to submit them as part of your application. Good luck with your application!
