Retake ACT?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I took the ACT in April and my scores are:
English:29
Math:29
Reading:29
Science:31
Combined English/Writing: 28
Writing:9</p>

<p>Composite: 30</p>

<p>I am almost positive that I will be attending The University of Cincinnati, but I am also interested in applying to The Ohio State University as well as The University of Southern California.</p>

<p>Will my scores be good enough to get me into the last two? And also, will these scores be good enough to open up some scholarship opportunities at the last two?</p>

<p>I am trying to decide whether or not to retake this September because I believe I can get my math up to a 33.</p>

<p>Also, my highschool GPA is 3.55</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>University of Southern California’s range is 29-33 Composite so you’d be borderline for acceptance and you’d have to raise it for scholarships. I would suggest retaking and maybe you could get a 32 or 33. Then you’d definitely more scholarships.</p>

<p>You do want to be closer to the top range of admitted student profile.</p>

<p>ok, thank you both very much, I forgot to add that this was my first time taking it so there is room for improvement. What are your thoughts on scholarships for OSU?</p>

<p>Well, if your interested in USC then you might want to retake your SAT because your GPA is a little low. I think you have a good shot at OSU and University of Cinncinatti.</p>
