Should I retake the ACT?

<p>I got a 30 on the ACT and I'm not sure if I should retake. I want to go to UNC Chapel Hill and I know they have a very holistic approach to evaluating applicants but I'm still not sure if my score is good enough. I feel like I'm a strong applicant in all the other areas (grades, GPA, AP scores, class rank, and leadership/ECs). Can anyone give any advice or say what they would do in my position? My reading and writing sub scores were good but my science was a 25 and math was a 29</p>

<p>IMO before you decide to retake it take some practice tests and see if you score increases first. If it doesn’t then you wouldn’t want to waste your money. </p>

<p>Also it really depends on how good your other things really are, if they are as good as you think however then 30 should get you in.</p>

<p>It will never hurt to retake the test if you are unsure. A 30 is a high score, (top 95% I believe) but getting your science score up could improve your composite even more! Good luck! </p>
