Do I Need to Worry About Improving My ACT Scores?

Test Preparation

<p>REALLY want to attend Stanford and Columbia!</p>

<p>So, I just got my SAT scores back yesterday, and I think I did pretty well (2300). I'm not taking it again, but I am, however, taking my ACT again tomorrow. I haven't studied very much for it since this SAT score seems to be good enough when it comes to standardized scores, but what do you think? Are these scores good enough for Stanford/Columbia? I didn't want to put my entire resume on here, but here are the basic stats:</p>

<p>ACT Composite - 33
English - 35
Math - 30
Reading - 36
Science - 32
Combined English/Writing - 32</p>

<p>SAT - 2300
Reading - 750
Math - 770
Writing - 780</p>

<p>SAT II
Math 2 - 680
US History - 680
Lit - 680</p>

<p>AP Scores
AP World History - 5
AP Calc AB - 4
AP Lang - 5
AP US History - 4
AP Physics B - 3
AP Calc BC - 3</p>

<p>SO yeah... my scores aren't abysmal, but they aren't great. I am DEFINITELY improving my SAT subjects so don't worry about that ;) I'm taking Math 2 and Lit in November/December. And my EC's are adequate. But anyway, what do you think? Do I need to worry about improving my ACT score? Hopefully my math/science will go up, but I'm concerned I won't do as well on my reading/writing and it will go down!</p>
