<p>I don't want to do Pacific's commonapp, because I don't like commonapp's essay's. Pacific's own essay prompt is much easier for me. However, I have a problem. Pacific's own application requires that I submit ACT scores, whereas the commonapp does not. I totally bombed the ACT (22). What should I do?</p>

<p>Option 1: Go with the CommonApp and just man up with the essay's
Option 2: Just send the ACT score, but have an easier essay.</p>

<p>Background Info:
I received a letter in the mail giving me a priority as a distinctive candidate.
I want to major in Pre-Med.
SAT score: 1680 (580 540 560)
GPA: 3.82</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>according to the folks at UoP, if you receive a distinctive candidate app, that’s the one that you should fill out. But they also said, that all 3 apps are equal to them.</p>
