I have a 3.2 GPA with a ACT of 22. I was thinking of waiting to take the SAT to get a really good score to raise my chances, but I heard that the faster you apply, the higer chances of you getting accepted. Should I wait to take the SAT and get my scores back which will take about 2-3 months or should I just apply without taking or using the SAT score?
You need to calculate your GPA in the Core competency classes required by the Arizona Board of Regents. If you have taken all the required classes and your GPA calculated using just those classes is still greater than 3.0, getting a higher score on the ACT or any score on the SAT will be irrelevant.
