<p>Thank you! That’s very interesting about the subject tests, I’ll definitely be taking some. Can you submit scores after your application?</p>

<p>Solid shots at both. How many times have you taken the ACT? It may not be a bad idea to retake in September and improve Science. What do you want to study in college?</p>
