Hi! I'm applying to Northeastern and I was curious if they superscore the ACT? I've taken it a couple of times and would love it if they did!
Yes, Northeastern University does superscore the ACT. This means that they will take the highest subscores from each section (English, Math, Reading, and Science) across all your ACT test dates and combine those scores into a new composite score. This can be beneficial as it allows you to showcase your highest achievements in each section, rather than being limited to one test date performance.
Make sure to send your scores from all the test dates you want considered for superscoring to Northeastern when submitting your application. You may also be interested to know that Northeastern is test-optional, so you may choose not to submit test scores at all. Whatever you decide, between superscoring, submitting one test score, or not submitting any at all, make sure that you are going beyond test scores to make your entire application stand out. Good luck with your application process!
