<p>Since Yale accepts Feb. scores, should I take it again in Feb? I knew I wouldn't do well in science b/c I didn't finish, but English? gahh...I love English. I got a 33 on it the first time.</p>
<p>Any advice?</p>
<p>I was hoping to only send in my ACT score.</p>
<p>To be honest, once you pass the 30 mark, they don't care anymore. </p>
<p>It's like one of those things that they check off before moving on to other things like essay, recommendations, and ECs.</p>
<p>If your ECs, recs, grades, or essay are subpar, then even a 35 won't save you (speaking from personal experience -.- )</p>
<p>On the other hand, if every other component of your application is awesome, then they won't reject you for the ACT score.</p>
<p>Thanks. I guess I have a hard time believing that. I mean, if there's a big difference between a 2040 (roughly a 31) and a 2220 (33), wouldn't admissions officers care about that?</p>
<p>I think my recs, GPA, ECs are good, but I don't have any national awards or anything too spectacular.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure there is quite a difference between a 31 and a 36. I wouldn't say something like "once you pass the 30 mark they don't care." Maybe a statement like "once you pass 34 they don't care", I can believe that.</p>
<p>I think you can try retaking, since the ACT doesn't automatically send all scores.</p>
<p>okay. I will try retaking. I sent Yale the 31 already, but if I let them know (via the common application, right?) that I'm taking it in Feb., will they hold off looking at that score?</p>
