Does Harvard superscore ACT/SAT scores?

Hi all! I've taken the ACT multiple times, and I was wondering if Harvard superscores ACT or SAT scores for admissions? I know some colleges do, but I'm not sure about Harvard. A little stressed, please help!

Hi there! No need to stress; I've got the information you're looking for. For the SAT, Harvard will consider the highest score from each section (Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math) regardless of the test date.

However, when it comes to the ACT, Harvard does not superscore. They will look at the highest composite score from a single test date. While they don't superscore the ACT, they do encourage you to report all your ACT scores, as they will still consider your highest subscores when evaluating the strength of your application.

So, in summary, Harvard superscores the SAT but not the ACT. Good luck with your application!
