December ACT for College Apps

Hey, so I’ve taken the SAT several times and my score has only decreased after each test, my highest being a 1480. I’ve already turned in my ED application to Barnard but I’m not sure if I should take the ACT instead for all my other colleges. If I don’t get in early, then the UC schools are my next option(Berkeley, LA, SD, Davis, Irvine) as I’m from California. Other schools that I’m applying to regular are a couple Ivy’s(though I know Im not getting in lol), Wellesley, Washington Univ, and Scripps. I know that my ACT score will definitely be above a 32…but should I take it with the deadline for apps being close also? Thanks :slight_smile:

Is there any downside for you to take the ACT?
