<p>you raise “unconventional” animals?</p>
<p>Haha that’s actually what my common app essay was about. Think house ducks, goats, wallabees, etc.</p>
<p>haha ok. i’d say you have as good a shot as anyone. but as this point in the game, there’s no point in fretting about your chances. let’s just hope for the best!</p>
<p>Same as I said elsewhere: the ACT score of 30 is fine for most places, but at some of the schools on your list (most definitely including GU), it will be regarded as underwhelming, and will put you into a sub-group of applicants from which a far lower percentage will be admitted than those that have, say, a 32 ACT.
How many times have you taken the ACT? Many people go up on a second (or perhaps third) try.</p>
<p>How late is it possible to take the ACT and send in scores? The application was due early January…</p>
<p>You have to have completed standardized testing by january.</p>
