33 Comp. for IVIES? (First-time)

Test Preparation ACT Preparation
1

<p>Hey there -</p>

<p>Just sat my ACTs for the first time. Scored as follows: </p>

<p>Composite: 33
Reading: 36
English: 36
Science: 32
Maths: 27 (mainly because the curriculum taught in Australia does not cover a lot of the ACT content)
Essay: 11</p>

<p>(I know my maths score is horrible - I’m actually ranked 1st at a super competitive school for maths in Australia - my score is mainly because the curriculum covers totally different material! I’m hoping to sit a Maths Level 2 SAT II to counteract this score, but regardless, do you think they’ll hate this ACT so much regardless of my school record in maths?)</p>

<p>Would you regard this as competitive for Ivy-tier schools?</p>

<p>Cheers! :)</p>

<p>A 33 is enough to compete at the ivies. As long as you aren’t applying to engineering or something like that, your math subscore shouldn’t be a problem at all. You’re golden for an English-related major, though.</p>
