S1, also an athlete looking to play in college, got a 30 ACT 1st time as a sophomore, a 31 the 2nd, and finally a 33 Junior year. He also goes to a nationally ranked large public, and has a 3.65 UW GPA while taking a rigorous course load (12 AP’s). I would suggest you take the ACT at least once more to make the best case possible for your admission, and also take, if not the SAT 2, then at least some SAT subject tests this summer. Make a 31 ACT (which is more than likely good enough, but…) a non issue by getting a 32-34.

Having said all that, the most important thing to focus on this summer is your personal development as an athlete. School is over, though testing can continue during the summer. Eat right, train, and do your best at your sport. At this point, your GPA is out of your control. So is what an admissions office or coach might think.
