ACT Score 30; retake?

<p>It's almost time to start thinking about registering for the Sept ACT, so I started wondering...should I retake the ACT? I'm not sure how much better I can do, and since I will be having a majority of AP classes next year (my senior year), I don't know how much time I will have to study purely for ACT. But should I still go ahead and retake it? My family is also tight on money because I have a sibling going off to college in the fall, so money plays a HUGE factor in this decision. Thank you so much!</p>

<p>Also, I'm giving up on the SAT, so that's not an option. It just doesn't seem to like me! Have taken it two times and only got an 1850..:[</p>

<p>Depends on where you’re looking/wanting to go to college and what the rest of your stats look like. A lot of kids would be very satisfied with a 30, but if you have big dreams and are a typical CC student, a re-take would probably be in order.</p>

<p>I have a 3.9 unweighted GPA and a 4.19 weighted GPA. will have 8 AP classes Done by graduation, AP tests, I got a four on all of the ones I took (APUSH, AP environmental, AP English language)</p>

<p>Have not too many awards; just a couple of volunteer hour awards and a presidents volunteer service award…a High njrotc rank</p>

<p>Ec’s: data analysis and finance internship, varsity tennis, jrotc after school teams (3 of them), LINK Leader, volunteering for city and local hospital (500+hours)</p>

<p>Should I still retake for ones like UCI/UCD, UCLA, USC, Cal?</p>

<p>(sorry this almost just turned into a chance me. I’m REALLY sorry!!)</p>

<p>Again, thanks!:)</p>

<p>I don’t know the exact logistics regarding the average ACT scores for UCI/ UCD, but I know for sure that you’re above the average by a couple of points. </p>

<p>As for UCLA/ Cal, you’re right at the average with 30 points. </p>

<p>Considering you can take it again in Sept/ Oct/ Nov, I’d say go for it.</p>
