32 on the ACT, without writing

Hi everyone,

I’ve from out of state, and I’ve been very interested in Alabama’s guaranteed merit scholarships. I have a 3.7 unweighted GPA, and I just received my results from the April state-mandated ACT and received a 32.

That 32 was a long shot for me - the last time I took the ACT I received a 29 and prepped for a really long time to boost my score. I only have ever received a 30 on most practice tests.

Unfortunately, this ACT did not include the writing test, as it was taken on a Wednesday and every junior in my state took the test. I understand that Alabama requires the writing test for their ACT score.

I’m not feeling very confident that I can reach a 32 again. Maybe I’m just being pessimistic, but I’m really worried, and the next test isn’t until September.

Will Alabama consider this 32 at all, since it’s without writing? I feel like I know the answer to this, but I just wanted to make sure.

Thank you!
