My biggest concern is that my official school transcript contains ALL of my ACT attempts, so it has around 5-6 attempts on there, which might be bad. Where I live there’s like no information whatsoever regarding college admissions for OOS schools, and they encourage you to take the ACT as many times as possible to get the highest score as you can.

I can’t remove my scores on my official school transcript (it’d be “suspicious” because I’d have to physically rip them off and make the transcript look sketchy) , but I’ve heard that most universities don’t consider scores on transcripts anyways, so I sent only my best through the official ACT website. Anyone else have this situation?

They say they only consider your best score, so I don’t think multiple attempts will be held too heavily against you (if at all). Otherwise, you seem to fit in with the EDI class profile. You’re not a lock but you have a good shot I’d say. Just make sure essays/recs are solid.

thank you!
