<p>So I finally decided to go for a chance thread. And it's been a while since I stalked my ED school's CC forum from October-December 13, and since then I've been here. But anyway!</p>

<p>Ah! I'm so jealous, you got to take Islamic History! My school doesn't offer it.</p>

<p>I'm certainly not a chancing expert, but your stats look great. Good luck!</p>

<p>While we're on the subject, could anyone briefly explain ACT scores? The SAT is SO much more popular in my area, I really don't know what's considered a good score vs. a bad one. For example, what would equate to, say, a 1300? Thanks soooo much :)</p>

<p>Thanks everyone! I really appreciate and good luck to everyone else!</p>

<p>Kelcey, ACT scores are on a 36 point scale. Here's a chart that sort of compares the scores, not sure how reliable, but it's certainly an estimate: SAT-ACT</a> Conversion chart</p>

<p>Also, about Islamic History. My school was the only one to offer it (IB version at least) in America, and only for one year. :) I guess you could say I got a unique experience out of it.</p>
