<p>If you apply NOW, you’d probably be accepted based on your GPA.</p>

<p>Is your ACT low because English might not be your first language or for another reason (I don’t mean to sound rude).</p>

<p>Also, Bama wouldn’t reject you even if the 19 was too low. Bama would wait and let you retake and retake the tests. </p>

<p>but, if you apply now (early), Bama is easier on admissions.</p>

3

<p>Take the SAT as well. Some do better on it.</p>

4

<p>I agree… take the SAT as well.</p>

<p>What is the breakdown of your ACT? If you’re low in Sci Rea, we can give you tips…and the SAT doesn’t have th
at section.</p>

<p>BTW…when you apply, have your GC make a note as to why your test scores are low…because you’re a strong student otherwise. </p>

<p>And, you may need to include a teacher rec and writing sample.</p>

<p>And, yes, being Asian should help. :)</p>

<p>i did bad on english reading and math. i did really well on science. and idk why, i try hard. but i always do bad. :(.</p>

6

<p>What was the breakdown of your scores?</p>

<p>Do you have a friend who has done much better on those sections that would be willing to sit with you while you do a practice test so that the two of you can discuss the answers as you go along?</p>

7

<p>17 - english
17 - math
17 - reading
24 - science</p>

8

<p>Have you taken the SAT? If not, sign up for that.</p>

<p>Is English your first language?</p>

<p>Are you running out of time when you test (leaving unanswered questions)?</p>

<p>Do you use practice books? </p>

<p>Have you taken an ACT prep class? </p>

<p>Will your parents pay for you to get some ACT or SAT tutoring?</p>

9

<p>yes, im taking act tuturoing, and no. english is my 2nd language. and yes i sometimes run out of time. and im starting to use practice books for my last act test this october</p>

10

<p>Ok…so English is not your first language.</p>

<p>please have your GC write something about that. You’re able to do school work, hence your GPA.</p>

<p>Please sign up for the SAT as well for Nov. </p>

<p>Also…what state are you in? I think you should contact your Bama area rep to help you with admissions.</p>

<p>ok. thank you, and i live in Alabama</p>
