Hey everyone, I'm in the process of applying to UPenn and wanted to know if they superscore ACT scores? I've taken the exam a couple of times and just wanted to make sure I'm submitting the best score possible. Thanks!
Yes, the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) does superscore ACT scores. This means that they will consider the highest individual section scores across all test dates you submit, combining them to calculate a new, highest composite score. To make the most of this policy, be sure to send all your ACT scores to UPenn, so they can evaluate your best scores from each section regardless of the test date.
Keep in mind that UPenn is also test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle, which means you are not required to submit ACT or SAT scores for consideration in their admissions process. However, if you feel your scores will strengthen your application, it's still beneficial to submit them. Good luck with your UPenn application!
