I'm retaking my ACT June 13th. Though with time closing in on sending my June 13th ACT scores out, I need advice on which universities should I consider doing so. Two universities I'm already set to send scores out to are: Michigan State University, University of Michigan- Ann Arbor.
I really like both of these universities a lot, though MSU may be a little too close to home for comfort ( about 10 minutes away from my house) and University of Michigan- Ann Arbor campus may be a little too small.
I have interest in Big Ten universities.... but freely can only send my scores to 3 more schools.
Ones I have high interest in:
University of Minnesota- Twin Cities
University of Wisconsin- Madison
Pennslyvania State University- University Park *
Purdue University
University of Illinios- Champaign
University of Washington- Seattle
Ohio State University- Columbus
Arizona State University
University of Arizona
University of Colorado- Boulder

All seem to be excell for me majoring in science ( biology, pre-med etc...)

Can anyone help? Thanks

( Other schools I have on my radar: University of Maryland- College Park... don't really like the buildings etc...., Boston University, Cornell University, University of California- Los Angeles)

Are your ACT scores on your HS transcript? If that's the case, I would just say wait until you apply in the fall (assuming your a junior) and the schools can get your scores this way. Unless there's another reason you're sending your scores out that I'm missing.

send your scores to 3 of the following schools:

Purdue University
University of Washington- Seattle
Boston University
Cornell University
University of California- Los Angeles

No I don't think my ACT scores are on my transcript.

ACT scores are on your high school transcripts but colleges need to see an "official" score result from the testing company.

I see, that makes sense.

True, colleges need to see "official" ACT scores, but this can usually be done after the student is admitted. Many colleges will take the scores off the transcript for initial admission purposes. (Though this may be a moot point if your scores are not on your transcript, coolbreeze ) Send to the five schools that you can without paying additionally...ACT already has plenty of money!

OP, UMich may be too small???

Coolbrezze

Yeah I already have plans to send score to my top choices 1. Michigan State University, 2. University of Michigan- Ann Arbor. Though MSU is my top choice, my increase concern with the school is that it may be too close to home, about 10 minutes away from my house. University of Michigan- Ann Arbor ( almost seem like some may be blinded by the campus due to the so closeness of downtown Ann Arbor) I see it's campus as being near small, it seems your mainly consisted within central campus... and not large at all.

I think I'll keep my other three free spots open to universities closer to home, not expensive plane trips ( besides great backup schools...well respected universities.... like ASU, UofA, UC- Boulder).

Still seeking for more advice.
