Hey everyone! I'm confused about whether Columbia University superscores the ACT for admission. Can someone clear this up for me? I'd like to know while I'm preparing for test day. Thanks!
Sure, I can help clear things up! Columbia University does superscore the ACT for admission. This means that if you take the test multiple times, Columbia will consider the highest section scores across all your test dates and use these to calculate a new, composite superscore. This can help boost your reported test score and your overall application.
While preparing for the ACT, try to do your best on each section across different test dates, knowing that Columbia will take the highest scores from each. Don't forget to also focus on other parts of your application, as Columbia has a holistic admissions process that takes many factors into consideration beyond test scores.
Good luck on test day, and feel free to reach out if you have any more questions!
