My ACT score was a 35 (36M, 36S, 34E, 32R), and I was quite happy with this score until my writing score came in and it was a lousy 21. Is it worth the retake just for the writing score? I’m applying to top schools (Ivy League, MIT, Johns Hopkins) and I don’t want anything to hurt my chances but I also don’t want to waste my time. What do you guys think?
