I feel stupid asking, but...

Members do not see this ad.

So, I am applying to a DDS program via deferred admit (can apply if >2 years from entering dental school. Don't need personal statements, DAT scores, ect)

So, we have to send our former ACT scores. I kind of scored low in them, but I'm not sure which to send. The one with the better composite score or the one with a slightly lower score, but a kick ass science score.

Option 1
Comp: 26
English: 27
Math: 25
Reading: 26
Science: 27

Option 2
Comp: 25
English: 20
Math: 24
Reading: 23
Science: 31

I know this is silly to ask, but I am of course over analyzing what is the better score to send in.

I'm pretty sure it is at U of Iowa only, and you can apply early if you have like a 3.75 or above (or something of that sort). You don't need to take the DAT for admission, but have to take it prior to starting dental school and only need a 17 in everything.

I'm not sure if it is for in state applicants or not. You can apply after your freshman year in college is completed and as long as it is 2 years before your expected start date.

He or she is applying to 6 or 7 year (undergrad + dental school) program. I can't answer that question for you, you need to check with your adviser.

Never heard of that program. Anyway you might want to check to see if you can even send score 1 or score 2. It's possible you won't even have the choice. ACT will likely send both scores simultaneously.
