<p>I'm retaking the ACT & SAT at the next available test date. I'll actually study, and get at least a 2100 on the SAT and a 30 on the ACT (I'm just missing a few concepts and need a little daydreaming / pacing practice). I have low volunteer hours / ECs as I didn't have a car until last February, which is why my hours are low (and why so many ECs of mine were done at home).</p>
<p>Thanks! :D</p>
