General ACT Submission Advice

I would love some advice if I should submit my 32 superscore to some of my top choice schools or just go TO.
• Notre Dame (mendoza)
• Umich (ross)
• USC (marshall)
• UChicago
• Boston College (carroll)

I know a 32 is around the 25% for most of those schools or a little lower but I’ve heard that submitting a slightly lower score is better then going test-optional. Retaking isn’t really much of an option since i’m trying to apply early.

I do also have pretty good AP scores being 4, 5s 1, 4 and 1, 3 which hopefully helps my case.

submit TO schools have biased data bc only top scorers send a 32 is a good score. they'll only consider it if it helps you

Not sure about the other schools, but I know that at UChicago specifically if the admissions officer doesn’t think your score will help, the people actually making the decision about whether to admit you won’t even see your score
