<p>By U of C standards, is a 31 on the ACT looked as a pretty good score? Should I shoot for higher (say about a 33, if there's a bigger difference)?</p>
<p>If it matters, my score was distributed as follows: 34 Eng 34 Reading 29 Math 28 Sci</p>
<p>I'm definitely more of an english person. </p>
<p>Thanks for any answers.</p>
<p>No, that's fine. Chicago doesn't really care too much about test scores, they have high test scores mainly because those who have high ranks/GPAs tend to have high test scores as well. Your score is more than good. I would focus on the other aspects of my application.</p>
<p>yeah, you're definitely in range</p>
<p>The mid 50th percent range is 29-33, you are fine. Concentrate on those essays.</p>
<p>31 is like average, I'd say. It's not really a help or hurt. It just says "meh, look at the other parts of my app". So depending on the other parts of your app, this could be a could thing or bad.</p>
