<p>Alright, so my highest single ACT is a 29 composite, 31 english, 30 math, 31 reading, and 24 science, with 11 out of 12 on the essay. I have gotten a 25 on the science section for two other test dates, but it only raises my composite score to a 29.25, which is still a 29. I’m taking the ACT one last time this Saturday, in hopes of bumping my score to a 30-31. These scores go directly to my Early Action schools. My top school is Boston College, and I’m applying there early action. If 75% of my section scores are within there middle 50% range, will I have a decent shot at getting in? Science is the only thing holding me back… Please note my school’s principal (a BC alumni who I know well) is writing me a letter of recommendation. Here are all my stats!</p>
