Science: 26

<p>Question about ACT: Ok I know composite isn't as high as it should be but science is what really brought it done. To be honest, I didn't even know there was a science section on the ACT so when I got to it I was like *** and I ran out of time. So should I take it again and actually study? OR will admissions offices see that science sucked or else it would be a 32/33.

<p>Your ACT is fine. I think you’ll get in. Be sure to interview</p>

<p>@nicklillie: I live 10 hours away from Wake by car, so I chose to do a Skype interview. It was very low stress and I learned more about the school by doing it. I was also able to express my interest in Wake through the interview. I would highly recommend doing one if you are interested in Wake, although based on your list of schools in your other threads, it appears that you may not be. Best of luck.</p>

<p>@pinkcupcake14 I actually am interested in Wake. It’s a top 25 school that sounds like it has a great social atmosphere. There is just now way I will be able to get there to visit. It definitely isn’t my top choice but if I got in, I am sure that I would be happy there. Thanks for the advice on the Skype interviews.</p>
