One of my top choices for schools is Cal Poly. Do you know if they require ACT writing scores? if not, is it possible to send partial scores, so they never see my writing score?
Currently, California Polytechnic recommends ACT with Writing scores, but does not require them:
Unfortunately, it is not possible to send your just your ACT multiple choice scores for tests when you took the ACT Plus Writing. If you send a score report for a particular test date, the schools you send it to will see all your section scores for that test (including Writing, if you took ACT with Writing).
