I am taking the ACT on March 1st at my school, and I filled out all of the pre-test info today. This included marking which 4 colleges I would like my scores to be automatically sent to, and it got me thinking…
I want to go to some colleges where I may or may not test into their middle range, and I was wondering if it could be bad for my admission chances to send my score automatically. If I DO end up scoring a couple of points below a college’s middle range, but have already sent the scores, will my admission chances be lower?
If I automatically send a score a few points too low for a college, and then retake the test and re-send a better score later, would that look worse than just sending a better score later?
Thank you so much!
