<p>I didn’t study at all for my ACT and did pretty mehhh. 5 years later, I’m going into LSA for Computer Sciences and planning on applying to CoE after the first year. Do you think the CoE will put a lot of weight on my ACT or do you think they will base it off of how I do during Calc 1, Chem, etc.?</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses in advance.</p>
<p>I don’t know for certain but I’m pretty certain CoE won’t care too much about your ACT score. I don’t think its even required for transfers so your college results will definitely be what CoE cares about.</p>
<p>Well if you’re a transfer student then it isn’t required - just optional. As a freshman applicant however your ACT will be used for your admittance into LSA. Once you apply to CoE after a certain amount of time you are re-classified into a different category (it’s called cross-campus transfer or something) and yes, it is usually easier to get into CoE from LSA assuming you’ve got the grades.</p>
<p>Can’t you just retake the ACT if you want to, don’t automatically report the scores, wait to see what you get, submit it if it’s way better? 5 years is a long time and they will much more look at what you’ve done in between, I think. But if you haven’t been in school during that time, maybe you want to retake it.</p>
