<p>Does UM still take ACT into consideration? It should be on their transfer website somewhere.</p>

<p>You might ask for an in-person visit with the school you'd like to attend. I wouldn't lean on the excuse for the ACT, since they'd just say that you should have (1) known it was below UM's standards, and (2) retaken it.</p>
