<p>Hi all, I was wondering if I could get some of your input. I just received my ACT scores, and I was APPALLED to see that I had only received a 23 on the science portion! It was only my first time taking the ACT, and I had minimal preparation and I had no idea what I was going into, but a 23? Really??</p>
<p>The rest of my scores is as follows:
English: 30
Math: 26
Reading: 31
Combined English/Reading: 30</p>
<p>Composite: 28</p>
<p>My combined SAT score is a 2010, with the breakdown as follows:
Math: 590
Reading: 650
Writing: 770 with a 12 on the essay</p>
<p>Some other details about myself include:</p>
<p>-President of Student Council
-President of the biggest club (over 400 members) on campus which advocates disability acceptance
-Chair of Prom Committee
-Piano
-Wrote for the school newspaper (it was a course, so I could no longer continue)
-Latin club
-Ski club
-Work 8-12 hours a week
-Volunteer counselor at special needs summer camp (80+ hours)
-Excellent essays & recommendations
-AP Art History, Psychology, English, European History
-400+ hours of community service</p>
<p>-My one downfall, however, is that I've never been a spectacular math/science student, and my grades in those classes have certainly brought down my GPA. However, I've stuck with the A level math every year until this one because I just couldn't handle the idea of giving up. </p>
<p>I expect my GPA to be around a 3.6 or 3.7</p>
<p>Do you think the ACT score will really hurt me in my chances at schools such as Boston University, Northeastern, NYU, George Washington, and Penn State?</p>
<p>Please let me know, thank you so much!</p>
