<p>I certainly wouldn't let that hold me back. Averages are just that, there are people that fall out of it and over it. You are within the range. One point isn't a big deal. I know if you don't apply, you wont get in. : )
Also, my son didn't ace his first ACT and is going to take it again in Oct. You can always try once more, they don't have to know if you don't get a better score.</p>
