<p>My junior year I got a 34 on the ACT, however, it was the non-writing since it was supplied and required by my school district. I just took the ACT again, this time with writing, but I was given advice from my school counselor to apply October 1st at the latest since I'm going for UCB, Stanford, and Dartmouth.</p>
<p>I feel like this is too early of a deadline to place on myself. If I should apply early, would I submit my non-writing score and then my writing? If I should wait, does it put me at a disadvantage and what is a more reasonable deadline to place on myself?</p>
