Is this bad as far as superscore?

[Anonymous]

DD took ACT twice and got 32 composite both times, but 34 superscore. Her scores are all over the place - 2 36's second time, but a 30 in math the first time, went to a 25 second. And a 29 on one, went to a 34. Is it bad to go down from first to second or vice versa, or is that the whole point of the super score?

Def not Georgetown but why them? Just because it's more competitive?

Because you have to send all scores. For most colleges, you’ll tell ACT to sync the superscore and they won’t even see the low scores

Or you'll just self-report on the common app.

The 34 is the superscore. If a college superscores the ACT, I'd definitely report that.

I did! I sent to all. This is the wording used:

All of the above scores will be sent to each college or agency that you choose to receive your superscore. All scores from every test event that were part of the superscore will be sent. Every superscore report you choose to send will also include your highest full ACT test. Not every college or agency accepts a superscore at this time, so by sending a full ACT test, you are ensured the college or agency will receive a score they can accept, regardless of their admission policies.

This is incorrect. They see all scores even when you superscore. However, schools don’t care.
