<p>So, I just received my ACT scores and I have a 26 Composite. I really really don't want to take the ACT again, instead choosing to focus on the AP exams I have coming up, the SAT Subject Tests (which I hope can make up for the scores), and making my ECs as strong as possible. Will this hurt me? What really killed me was Math because I got 32, 33, and 33 in Reading, English, and Writing. I also received a 21 in Science. I'm not going to go into Math or Science in the future. Far from it. Also, I don't want to start an AA debate or invite any flaming posts, but since I am a URM and will be competing against fellow ones, what is the score that I should be shooting for?
What do you guys advice? Should I take it again? If so, what's the farthest test date from now that will allow me to still have the scores by EA time?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. I appreciate the help, it's just that I don't want people to waste their time reading my long post when I've already made my mind up. LOL, I didn't mean to sound unappreciative!</p>

<p>You may want to try to take the SAT1 instead. Some people do better on one vs. the other.</p>
