<p>On most forums, its general courtesy not to bump threads if they’re still on the front page. On a relatively inactive board such as this, it’s understandable to bump a thread if it hasn’t been responded to recently, and it has drifted down the page somewhat. </p>

<p>This board is generally not active enough to warrant bumps at all; regular users will see a thread whether or not it’s at the very top of the board, and definitely if it’s in the first ten or so threads. Just be patient- you’ll eventually receive a response.</p>

<p>As you are now, just focus on improving your scores before the early application deadline. Consider retaking the ACT if you can, and you think you’ll be able to increase your score.</p>

<p>Sorry, I’m still quite new to CC. Thanks for being polite about it. I’m going to be retaking the ACT september and taking the SAT for the first time October. But as of right now, do you think that my test score isn’t so bad that it will really hurt chances?</p>

<p>I think you have a very good chance. But I wouldn’t post all this detailed information on CC unless you want people to identify you. For example, saying you worked at a restaurant will still give people an idea of what you did without posting a verbatim copy of your resume.</p>
