<p>you are a match/safety</p>
<p>Match with 30 , Safety with 32</p>
<p>Salutorian with 4.0 GPA and 3 ACT. I’d say safe match.</p>
<p>sal with a 30? Kinda odd; take it again for near assured acceptance. 32+</p>
<p>Yeah, wouldn’t hurt to take it again, bc I have a feeling you’d be accepted anyway. You’d still be able to apply before the early response deadline even if you took it again as well.</p>
<p>In improvement in ACT could mean merit money, so definitely rey to improve it to 33. Also, 32+ would pretty much guarantee an invitation to the honors program.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the responses guys. I was planning on taking the up and coming ACTs but they are not offered in my state… im really bummed. but what do u think i should do now. i really want to get merit and honors. should i apply early with a 30 or wait for a better score and apply later? i really need some help.</p>
<p>if you did that well on the ACT, try taking the Oct. 6 SAT. who knows, you may even do better on that one. you would still be able to apply before the ER deadline again, and you lose nothing by waiting but a few weeks. that’s what i would do, esp. if you want honors (a 30 isn’t quite high enough).</p>
<p>does anyone else have any intake on what i should do? if i apply the earliest possible and send in my scores later, will they change their decisions about merit and honors? or if i apply a little bit later (as in the earliest possible with using the oct ACT test date), will they have money left for me?</p>
<p>If you use the Oct. ACT date, you should be fine. That will still be much earlier than many people apply. Might be safest that way, then they can’t second-guess themselves about honors/money. Good question though.</p>
