ACT not high enough for auto admission. Apply now or wait for my higher ACT score?

Applying to College

<p>Hello, I am in the top 20% of my class. I need top 25% and a 25 ACT score to be an automatic admission at Texas Tech University. I received a 21 on my last ACT, but was dumb and left 1/3 of the answer sheet blank, because I worked through the test too slowly. However I have been preparing for the upcoming test, in which I am confident I will get higher than a 28(been practicing sections timed), shooting for a 30.</p>

<p>The question is.... Do I apply to TTU and other universities now? Or do I wait till the middle of November when I receive my higher ACT score? Do I risk not getting accepted, if I apply now, or do they start making decisions until December? Stressing so bad about this.</p>

<p>You appear to have until March 3 to apply Priority. I would just wait until you get your scores and apply then, particularly if it makes you automatic.</p>

<p>If you miss the 25, write back, and someone will give you new advice.</p>

<p>You could’ve guessed on those blanks. Then out of that 1/3 blank (theoretically gotten 1/4 right or 1/5? ) But still those would’ve boosted your score, maybe even to a 25 :o</p>

<p>Get 25+</p>
