How much will a low ACT score hurt me?

<p>Thanks everyone for the input!!!</p>

<p>To add a bit of info, I’m currently a senior so I unfortunately will not be able to retake the ACT in time for application review. (I did take the SAT, but my score conversion was about the same as my ACT). However, I AM a California resident so hopefully that should help me a little. </p>

<p>Also, the school I go to only offers I.B courses (the only AP class is Calculus, which I took) and I am on course to receiving my I.B Diploma.</p>

<p>Any more thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!</p>
