Hey everyone. As ED is fast approaching, I recently took the September ACT and did okay, my composite score was a 30. The school I am applying to ED has a median ACT score of 32, and the range is a 29-34, so it’s very selective (I am applying because I love the school, of course I understand my chances are slim).
There’s another ACT coming up on the 24th and I feel like I could potentially do better. From what I have researched, I can only submit one score, so if I were to submit this October 24th ACT, I would just have to trust that my score would be better (I wouldn’t get to see my scores before submitting it to the college, because the date falls so close to the ED deadline). At the same time, I feel like my score is still competitive and my next ACT would be stressful and complex (because of sending it in after the deadline).
As much as I would love to get my scores up to a 31 or 32, I’m not sure if it’s worth it. Does anyone have an opinion? Thanks!
