Should I take another SAT or ACT?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I’m currently a high school senior applying to colleges and I’m not sure whether to take another college admissions test to make myself seem more attractive to colleges. So far, I have applied to University of Central Florida (accepted), Florida State University (waiting), and University of Pittsburgh (waiting). I plan on applying to New York University, University of Florida, and University of Miami. Based on my stats, what do you think my chances are for the schools I have yet to apply to? Also, would you recommend taking another college admissions test?</p>

<p>Look up the Common Data Set for each school and look at section C to see how you compare to admitted students. I would look at retaking your ACT since it’s better than your SAT. <a href=“http://www.act.org/aap/concordance/estimate.html”>http://www.act.org/aap/concordance/estimate.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
