I received a 35C (36M, 35E, 34S, 33R) on the September ACT but got a 6 on writing. Will Berkeley turn me down because of this?
A lot of schools care very little about the ACT writing especially the past two years as they have made major changes to the section. 35 is a great score.
Berkeley will NOT turn you down because of your ACT but could because maybe you have a low GPA or countless other things. Having a 35 composite ACT will only help you at any school.
Agree ^^^. Admissions to UCB are not just about your test scores. GPA/HS course rigor/EC’s and essays all contribute to your overall application. The ACT writing score will have very little impact.
