What's a good ACT for top tier schools?

<p>I am retaking my ACT soon and I've taken 2 practice tests so far. The first one yielded a 34 E/29 M/35 R/ 33 S/ 33 Composite. The one I just took wasn't really ideal because I was very distracted the whole time but I got a 31 Composite. Am I in the right ballpark for schools like Penn, UCLA, Ivies?</p>

<p>By the way I’m an english/communication/journalism major, which I think puts less weight on my math score.</p>

<p>Good score, not a shoo-in obviously, and you’re going to need a lot of things on your application, but that shouldn’t disqualify you by any means.</p>

<p>Google the Common Data Set for each school and look at section C.</p>
