<p>Really can't think of anything else. Worried that my horrible ACT scores are going to bring me down. I should have decent reccs, interesting essays, and an overall interesting application. </p>
<p>I am glad that the University of Texas has a top 10% rule at this moment. How much do colleges base acceptance on ACT scores?</p>
