Stop asking for chances without an ACT or SAT score. At least get a study book and take a couple practice tests as a very rough estimate.

Edit: Wait, you already took the ACT according to one of your other posts, why didn’t you include it?

Oh shit sorry I got a 31. Thought it was there???

Can you retake the ACT? It’s possible for you to get in with a 31/3.9, but 31 is 25th percentile, IIRC, and a lot of those 31 and below spots are taken by athletic recruits, legacies, etc. A 32 or 33 would definitely help, although it will still be a reach, as it is for just about everyone.

Edit: I checked, mid-range is 30-34, but it’s still best to be on the upper end of it.

I just retook the ACT for the second time. I’ll update if my score went up! Thanks

You need to take calc

ACT update: I got a 32 C, 33 Superscored. Any new thoughts?
