Should I give up all hope? My essays will be about the great German opportunities at LSA, the FIRST Robotics Alumni group, etc.
Your legacy and in state residency help, but your very unbalanced ACT score with composite at 25th percentile would hurt your chance. Being a captain in robotic team but with very poor Math Ana Science scores does not match up.
Yeah. Maybe I should retake it. I cannot retake the ACT before early action.
I’m not bad at math, I am just bad at the standardized testing math.
You may apply EA with your current score but register for the next ACT. This way, it will make your EA application complete and continue the reviewing process while pending for the new score.
If you can afford it get a tutor that can hone down on the math and science for you and let you know what you need to do. Sometimes it’s just practicing on certain areas to bring your score up. The Act is also a fast test and alot of practice helps to slow it down.
This thread is months old and OP has not been back. All suggestions are too late now.
Good catch… Need to stop looking at this first thing in the morning… Lol
