Also you may be able to apply to test optional schools if you are not happy with your scores, though sometimes merit aid depends on scores. This list is comprehensive and includes top schools: FairTest | The National Center for Fair and Open Testing

Note that COVID caused more schools to be test-optional and it remains to be seen which ones remain that way. But many top and excellent schools were on this list pre-COVID too.

I think it is probably worth it to try again with the ACT but at some point the stress isn’t worth it and you probably can spend your time and energy better on EC’s that you enjoy vs test prep.
