My 9th grade took the ACT without the essay portion and attained 35 composite score. Duke and Vandy are top choices to attend because of proximity and interest in medical field. He thinks it would be ‘cool’ get admittance letter from few ivy league school.
Do Duke and Vandy require the writing portion? If so retake next year.
Vandy does not but Duke does. So its better to retake it in 10th grade?
The Writing section of the ACT and the Essay section of the New SAT are not required. on vandy website.
You can take it in 10th or 11th grade. Whichever fits your schedule.
