<p>Did you take any AP tests or SAT Subject tests that might help bolster your application? Why did you wait so long to retake the ACT? Since you took it a full year ago, you had plenty of time (presumably) to study for it and retake it. It seems as though you weren’t getting very good guidance :-(</p>
<p>There are lots of test-optional schools where you would have a better chance but they are mostly LACs. Unfortunately, WPI is the **only **test-optional engineering school. And they would appreciate your participation in FIRST robotics; they are big supporters of the FIRST program and offer degrees in robotics at all levels. Check out special scholarships they have for FIRST kids who apply…
