Should I take the ACT if I鈥檓 applying early decision?
I鈥檓 currently a high school senior looking to apply to competitive schools. I have a high gpa and a multitude of extra curricular activities and other things I can place on my application. I plan on applying test optional, but I鈥檓 not sure if it鈥檚 the best idea. I never took the ACT or SAT.
The earliest I could take the ACT is Oct. 28th, and if I plan on applying early decision to my dream school I have to submit my application on Nov. 1st. As of right now, my chances of getting into my dream school is at 12%, last year they only accepted 3%.
With these circumstances, does an ACT or SAT score greatly affect my chances of getting into my dream school? Or is applying test optional a route I can take?
