<p>I received a 28 on the ACT with a 7 on the writing portion my first try. I was told that after you take the writing once then it isn't really necessary to take it again. Stupid me didn't research this beforehand and went on to get a 30 on the act without writing. Will this be taken into consideration when applying to UCF, UF, and Texas A&M or did I waste my time retaking the test? Thanks in advanced!</p>
