Chances to LACs with 29 ACT

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi,
I just got my ACT scores back and was wondering whether or not I should take them again based on the schools I am considering applying to:
Bucknell
Dickinson
Franklin & Marshall
Gettysburg
St. Mary's College of Maryland
Mount St. Mary's
Juniata</p>

<p>My ACT score breakdown is
English - 29
Math - 29
Reading - 33
Science - 24</p>

<p>Some other background information is that I have a 3.99 GPA. I am taking 3 AP classes this year (AP Environmental, AP U.S. History, and AP English Language). I plan on taking 4 next year (AP Biology, AP Calc I, AP Gov, and AP English Literature). I plan to major in either biology or environmental science and follow a pre-med track.</p>

<p>Thanks for any input you have!</p>

<p>Bump! </p>

<p>Sure, retake it at least once. Can’t hurt</p>

<p>I can only speak for Dickinson. I think you are in a very good position to be accepted. If you want to aim for their top merit scholarship, ACT over 30 will really help.</p>

<p>If you’ve only taken it once, do retake, you can’t lose. Just one more point would help!
Overall you’re within range for all these schools as is, but you really don’t have anything to lose retaking.
If this is your 4th attempt, though, focus on something else. :)</p>
