baaad act

<p>i just got a 27 on the december act (in the midst of finals week, actually forgot i had act until the night before, forgot a calculator, forgot the last 20 questions in one section....just very very bad). on top of that i also took the sat 3 times and never got better than a 1350 combined. but i'm going to study this time and take them again in january. assuming i do well on the sat in january (i'd be happy w/ a 1450 frankly) will colleges still look at all of my past testing and be turned off and hold it against me?</p>

<p>btw i'm applying transfer to uva, georgetown and yale (pfff right). i have a lot of other things going for me than my test scores. i'm not planning on getting in on great scores, i just want them to be good enough so i'm not rejected out right</p>

<p>If your final SAT score shows a substantial increase, I don't think your past attempts will hurt you. Good luck!</p>

<p>how are you applying transfer...are you in college already or something? and if you are, can you take the sat's? sorry, i was just kinda confused</p>

<p>wow efs424........I wish I was in a position where I could say that a 27 is a "baaad" score. That's not a bad score at all, but I do understand that it may not be good enough to get you into the schools of your choice..but the national average is around 20/21.....isn't 27 composite around 90th percentile? Thats really not bad....</p>

<p>Anyway, good luck on your next try and I hope you get th score you want.</p>

<p>i f***** up on the act, got 3 points lower than i should have</p>
