The common app gives you the option of the self reporting ACT scores in addition to sending scores officially. S was going to self report, but we just received his latest official ACT results with writing, and the ACT is reporting the writing differently now. Last time (in April) he received four 8s for the different writing components, with a total score of 23 (83rd percent nationally). This time, his score is an 8, which is an average of his four 8s in the four different components (82nd percent nationally). The score report states that the highest score is now a 12, not 36 as it was in April. But the common app doesn't have a way to show these lower score metrics (they're still showing 36 as the highest). Should we just officially send scores and not self report? Thanks!
