<p>I think you have a great shot! Only retake the ACT if you feel like you can do better/perform more strongly. Your subject tests are strong and a 33 is about average for WashU.</p>

<p>I will respectfully offer the opposite advice on retaking the ACT. Retake at every opportunity! Why not? Especially considering that Wash U superscores. You can up your effective composite score just by improving in one weak area only.</p>

<p>In retrospect, foursite is right. You have nothing to lose!</p>

5

<p>I think you have a great chance if you get that ACT to a 34. And apply ED to maximise chances if WashU is your top choice!</p>

<p>Thank you for your insight, guys. I think I’ll take the ACT one more time in September, in hopes of getting a 34 superscore.</p>
