Low score in ACT science - will it look bad?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I just got my ACT score back, and here's what I got:</p>

<p>English - 34
Math - 32
Reading - 34
Science - 26</p>

<p>Essay - 11/12</p>

<p>Combined Writing/English - 34</p>

<p>I normally do better in science (31 or 32) but I was really tired and was pacing myself too slow.</p>

<p>If I end up applying to an Ivy (I only want to apply to UPenn) will my 26 look bad?</p>

<p>I know for my other schools it won't matter, but I hope that I didn't make my chances slimmer for Penn.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>If you want to major in science then it could look bad. You can retake it, because you can always “delete” ths first score.</p>

<p>Yeah I was considering chemistry. If I retake it though, they will see the old one, but will they realize it was a fluke when they see my new score?</p>
