Act score question

<p>33 Composite
30 Combined English/Writing (33 E, 8 Essay)
I'm just wondering if my 8 will greatly affect admissions for GTown, Cornell, Notre Dame, and BC
Also, should I retake to get a 34? I'm feeling like a 33 is the highest I could get.
Thanks</p>

<p>If you don’t think you can do better, don’t retake it. The difference between a 33 and a 34 is negligible. Also, colleges don’t really put much emphasis on the writing section, because it’s not a very accurate reflection of your writing ability. The college essays get the job done a lot better.</p>
