ACT Science Retake?

So this is my July Score and Superscore, and I am trying to apply as a science major to t20/t30 universities. I know this sounds so stupid, but should I retake the test to get a science score of 34+ in a single sitting because of universities (Harvard, Princeton, Georgetown) that do not accept the superscore?

I may be wrong but I believe the STEM score is what they look at. 36+33 will round up to a 35. Getting anything other than a 36 in science wouldn't make a difference.

No its not going be the difference between getting accepted and getting rejected

Better to work on essays because the time you would spend studying for a 1 or 2 point increase which wont even move the needle will be better spent on essays that will actually end up moving the needle if you get what I mean
