36 English but 31 reading

Sorry to be annoying about this, but I just want to get some opinions. I plan to apply with a major in creative writing/English. Will this discrepancy hurt me at top colleges? The thing is that I just run out of time during the reading section because I’m used to reading at a certain pace that it slower than the ACT’s.

Doubtful unless your math and science lower your composite.

@HPhelpbot123 math is 33 and science is 34

That is a 34. Don’t worry. If you get rejected places, it will not be because of your ACT scores.
