<p>Hey Guys, I just got my ACT results. I took the test for the first time in Oct and I was pleasantly surprised at my composite score (35). However, I was soon stunned at my remarkably low writing score of 7. Particularly because I thought I wrote an essay worthy of at least a 9. Could it be my small writing? (usually fit 15-19 words per line)</p>
<p>I already applied to dartmouth and i'm planning on applying to other top schools. Would this score have a serious impact on my application?Should I retake the test?</p>
<p>Those with experience submitting applications to top schools.... please help me....</p>
<p>BTW, I will be majoring in engineering/ physics</p>
