Thank you everyone who replied. You guys gave me some great insight on choosing a school, and I'm happy to say that I have managed to raise my score. I have taken the ACT twice since this post. The second time I tested, I was very disappointed. My score actually dropped to a 27. I was devastated but more determined than ever to raise it. I took the test for a third time and finally got that 30. I was actually just one point away in the math section from getting a 31. So this information is even more relevant now. Also, I would just like to say that just because you've taken the test multiple times doesn't mean you can't do better Juillet. I guess I am an example of that. Although I know a 30 isn't amazing, it's still an improvement. So don't discourage people from retesting, even if it's not statistically likely for them to improve. It took me three times to get my score, and if I had given up it wouldn't have gotten any better.
