It may not be worth it to take the ACT again. You have a bit of an improvement with the ACT vs the SAT, so that’s a decent enough message to send in itself. You would also risk declining in your other sections. Plus it doesn’t sound like the 28 would be easy to improve upon.

You’ll be fine with English and history. Princeton/Amherst are reaches for everyone, so what would a 29 do for you there? Improve your odds from 10% to 13%? Just focus on highlighting your strengths as much as possible, and be sure to target some matches that are lighter on the math scores. Nail your essays. Interview where possible.

Maybe try to take AP Calc in your first term (for admission purposes). Study hard and use that course to show improvement.
