<p>Also, my ACT essay was rather low. However my SAT essay was relatively high. Will colleges acknowledge that I am still a strong writer. The ACT prompt was about using GPS tracking on children. It was not very "writer-friendly" in my perspective. Do colleges focus heavily upon the ACT essay score? Also, should I submit both tests or just one of them? Thank you</p>

<p>I think you stand the same chance as the other two students on the villanova chance me. You stand a good chance, but your scores are relatively low.</p>

<p>Yea, I just hope that my other statistics and credentials are taken into account because I feel like they can give me a bit of a boost over my standardized test scores. For example, being in the top 5 possibly or top 3 of my class. Also, my leadership qualities etc.</p>

<p>You’re fine. Don’t send your SAT. I had similar ACT scores with a lower GPA and got in.</p>

<p>You look like an excellent candidate, don’t worry about it. You will surely get in with your credentials! Good luck next year and don’t go down the senior slide, it hurts by the time you get off of it ;)</p>

<p>You seem to stand a good shot, maybe ill see you next fall! I also disliked that prompt, but I did pretty well.</p>
