<p>I was looking at Dickinson College, and I am a match with all of their stats except for my ACT score of a 22. While I'm sure I can get atleast a 25-26, I was wondering how much weight SATs/ACTs hold at colleges that don't require them. Also, why wouldnt they require them? If I can't get my scores any higher, should I still send them?</p>
