Retaking ACT but already applied to college

<p>3.5 GPA, 5 AP classes, one school club, one extracurricular activity, two extracurricular activities outside of school, at least 30+ hours of community service, A/B honor Roll, one A honor roll</p>

<p>I am retaking my ACT.</p>

<p>I got a composite score of 17 for not studying.</p>

<p>I am now studying everyday and taking notes. I applied to colleges, however, I sent some scores to some colleges. </p>

<p>Will they use the scores I sent to make a decision? Some of the scores is my SAT 460 reading, 440 math. I am either at the minimum or over the minimum but I am worried about the colleges that I fall under minimum </p>

<p>Because on some applications I put that I am retaking the ACT or that I haven't taken it at all and will take it in February.</p>

<p>I want them to make a decision with my new test score because I know I will get a higher grade since I am studying.... Am I suppose to call them to let them know or do they wait a few months to review my application?</p>

<p>Will I get accepted if I am at the minimum and if I am under the minimum will they deny my application?</p>
