SAT Score of 1780, Should I Take the ACT for Admission to UNC-CH

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application

<p>I'm a high school junior, and I have taken the SAT twice. The first time scoring 1640 and the second time scoring 1780. I have two questions. One being, should I take the SAT again, or are my scores sufficent to get into The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill? And, if I need to take the SAT again, should I also take the ACT or would it be a waste of time. I am worried about getting into college and I am not sure what I should do. Please help!</p>

<p>The range for UNC-CH is 1800-2080 so you are a little shy.</p>

<p>You can certainly try the ACT or get a book and take a practice test and see how you do before investing time studying more. The ACT is worth taking if you are stronger in math/science versus the SAT that is really 2/3s English. My son did better and prefers the SAT though I had him try one ACT.</p>

<p>You have time to retake the SAT at the end of Jr. year or study over the summer and take it in Oct to try and raise your score.</p>
