Standardized test scores
ACT 23
I know I did horrible on the ACT, I take a long time to do things, but I will retake them to try and do better. If my score were a huge factor, what would I need to raise it up to? </p>

<p>Thanks for your advice</p>

<p>you're in.. they have a 60% acceptence rate.. and you will probably get a scholarship too</p>

<p>DD had an SAT score that was similar to the OP's ACT score. I agree that the OP will be accepted, but I do not think a scholarship is automatic since they only award those to the students accepted with distinction. Get that ACT up, however, and there is a better chance for merit aid. Also, SCU overenrolled their freshman class this year...much higher yield than expected with a high %age acceptance. I do NOT think they will let that happen again since it is causing housing and class section issues. My prediction is that their acceptance rate will be much lower next year than this year...since their yield is improving.</p>
