<p>Retake the ACT, or take the SAT; make the time.</p>

3

<p>I’m trying. I signed up for SAT, so that’s for sure. And ACT I’m stand by testing</p>

4

<p>If for some reason I couldn’t raise my scores, what do you think my chances are?</p>

5

<p>27 is a long way below the ideal. Admission is not impossible if you have something special to offer, but it’s not probable. Retake the ACT or study really hard for your SAT I (IIs don’t matter for Chicago)</p>

6

<p>Question to understand your course load: IB-H or IB-S?</p>

7

<p>IB-H, and yeah. I will try harder to get my score up. I hope it all works :/</p>

8

<p>Of course you need to get your (SAT)/ACT scores up. </p>

<p>Are you bilingual? I so, make sure that admissions is aware of this. As far as I know bilingual students usually have lower test scores in the reading comprehension section. It could just be the explanation admission needs before putting your test scores aside.</p>

9

<p>Yeah, I’m definitely bilingual, and I’m pretty close to being trilingual ( english/spanish/french)<br>
But yeah, I’m going to try to take the SAT/ACTs so that I can get a better score. Wish me luck :/</p>
