<p>Hi :) </p>
<p>I'm a first year regular decision applicant. I finished and submitted my common app on the 18th and I just got a notification yesterday that it was received and being considered. I'm a US citizen that was born and raised in Europe; as a result I was taught under the British Curriculum and completed Cambridge and Edexcel A-levels and IGCSEs in which I did very well on. My school doesn't calculate GPA but I haven't gotten a grade lower than an A+ in 3 years. I think I did a good job on the essays and my teachers told me that their recommendations were quite strong. </p>
<p>My only problem is that I'm not confident on how well I'll do on the ACT... I've taken a number of practice tests and I can't seem to get higher than a 27...It all seems very confusing to me. For instance, so much of the terminology on the math section is so foreign to me...I was taught in a completely different format.. I'm also a pretty slow test taker which I managed to overcome on my A-level exams but I just can't seem to successfully time manage each section and I end up only finishing the English section.... </p>
<p>So my question is, if the rest of my application is strong but my tests scores aren't very impressive, do I still have a chance of getting in?? :(</p>
