Honors College Chances?

<p>With critical reading and math, I only have a 1290. Sadly, my writing score is the highest. I wanted to retake the ACT but the next test date is not until December 14. Would they consider scores even if the test was taken so far after the deadline? I know they say they don’t, but if my score went up a substantial amount would they actually ignore it? I really appreciate y’all’s feedback!! USC is my top choice, but being out of state makes it so expensive. I’m not sure I could justify attending if I did not get into the honors college.</p>
