<p>I'm taking the ACT in Sept. I don't think I'll retake the SAT, if I do well on the ACT. If I score 32+, I might retake the ACT and ignore the SAT because I'm horrible when I write about first-hand experiences.</p>
<p>As I stated, I got a 27 on a practice ACT, so I'm currently studying to raise my score up to at least a 32.</p>
<p>I think I'll have more hope to get in, if I start new ECs, continue my current ECs, get a high ACT score, high subject test scores, and pull off a great essay. A counselor at my school helped a few people get into some top schools 2 years ago, so I'll ask her for help on my personal statement.</p>
