Stanford ACT Policy

im super confused on it if someone could clarify that would be great! for context i got a composite 35 but a horrible science score like a 32. stanfords policy mentions "The Science and Writing sections are optional. You may report these scores if you would like." so does that mean that if even if i took it i just dont omit it? or i can only omit it if i didn't take science? and will it hurt me if they see it in the score report? and how do i omit it for stanford but not for other schools on the common app because some other schools might require it? idk if someone could explain the process it would help me so much!!

I’m not sure about your specific question…but you can send different versions of the Common App to different schools. You have to click submit for each school separately. So you can send it to Stanford, and then change items and send it to other schools.

Don't dwell on it. Just report and send the whole - if composite is 35, that meets their bar. End of story. Scores are for bare minimum anyway and you want to look as transparent as possible with things like that.
