ACT 33 - Retake or Not? Does having a sibling help?

My daughter will be applying to UF next year. I have a freshman there now.

Does having a sibling at the university help?

She got a 33 on her ACT. 36 in English, 34 in Math and Reading and a 29 in Science and a 9 in Writing. She’s not sure what her major will be but probably a STEM major. She wants to be a Physicians Assistant. Should she retake the ACT to try to get the Science up higher? We’re concerned that her other scores might go down and unfortunately, you can’t super score the ACT. Would a higher ACT give her a better chance at the scholarships?

Thanks for any input.

Has she tried the SAT? It might be worth it to see if she likes it better. A 33 looks like a good score for UF based on the Acceptance/Rejection thread. You probably don’t need to worry about retaking it.

I got a 33 last February and retook this September for a 34. It doesn’t hurt to try again. There have been opportunities for me where the 34 has made the difference. If she does lower, she still has the 33 to roll back to.
