Stupid ACT Beating Stick

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello, I live in Illinois and in high school a guy in a black suit would stand in the hallway and hit us in the head with a wooden stick emblazoned with the acronym ACT, its a freaking conspiracy I’m telling you. (A little back-story) Well I took the test and got a 29, which I consider good considering I graduated high school with a <2.5 GPA. Any way I went to an average university and have kept a 4.0 my first year. I plan on continuing at this school for another year and hopefully not lowering my GPA too much, but I digress. The question is will I need to take the SAT before transferring UP, so to speak, or will my stupid ACT suffice? I couldn’t imagine why the two test wouldn’t be interchangeable for transferring like they are for freshmen admission, but from what I have been reading when transferring only the SAT will due, but then again reading isn’t my strong point.</p>

<p>If you are transferring anywhere in IL up (UChi, Northwestern) then ACT is fine.</p>

<p>So does that mean it won’t work outside of IL??? Personally, I would rather go far away from this place.</p>

<p>sats for sure.</p>

<p>acts are not recognized really (in my opinion) after the new sat came out</p>

<p>I’ve applied to many Midwestern universities with my ACT scores taken in HS and have never had a problem.</p>

<p>The ACT shouldn’t hurt your chances. I submitted my ACT score instead of my SATs because it was slightly higher and I just received my acceptance letter from Colgate. I’m from NYC, btw.</p>
