<p>I think it's important to note that GT and VT only look at ACT Math and English sections so the 28 composite score won't be used in their admissions process. Also, I immigrated to the US in 8th grade and was even taking ESOL classes at one point. Combine this with the upward trend in my GPA, and I think that this could really help me. I am also talking about this in my college essays. </p>
<p>Please be completely honest in your posts! Its time for some hard truth..</p>
