<p>Only good reason to take ACT is if you would consider a school with what is known as Perfect ACT score. There are several that offer full tuition, room, board and books if you hit that magic number. Remember a 35 doesn’t count. A few are big public flagships from midwest with good ratings and programs depending on what you are looking for. </p>
<p>I agree that if you ace both, you could put yourself in the “smart, but lazy” category. I have seen it happen to kids who everyone thought were an accept even with tons of ECs and National Awards. :(</p>
