[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do college admissions people look beyond the ACT composite score?  I would think a 35 that has underlying scores of 34,34,35,35 looks at least a little different from a 35,35,35,36, but do they really focus on that?  The ACT scores are so compressed it seems like it might be helpful to differentiate between a strong 35 and a weak one. Anyone have any insights?[/quote]

OMG!!  You people are splitting hairs with this nonsense.  A 35 along with excellent everything else will get you into a good school.  They are not going to say, “Oh Janey got a 35 in the Science portion and Amy got a 36.  Amy is in!”  It doesn’t work that way.  [/quote]

The only rationale to re-take with a composite 35, is if your DC is applying to engineering schools and the math section is low. You can check out the engineering school's 25-75% admitted score range here and see if you are good to go: http://profiles.asee.org/profiles?year=2016&school=smith+college&commit=Search[/quote]
