The question about applying college and the score of ACT and SAT.?
Hey guys, I’m a junior in high school this year.
I just came here for about a year,
and I’m still in ESOL( English for Speakers of Other Languages) program.
I’ve already taken the ACT and SAT once,
Here’s my scores:
ACT:
English – 13
Math – 30
Reading – 19
Science – 23
(I didn’t take the writing part, and my composite score is 21.25)
SAT
English – 300
Math – 630
Writing – 330
Obviously, my Math is much better than my English.
I have already asked my counselor; does college accept this kind of scores?
I mean where I want to go is not a community college,
I want to go to an University( I wanna go to University of West Florida)
Her answer was “yes”, they accept the students like me.
my friend, she got a composite score 23 on ACT,
and she told me that I have to have at least 18 on each subject..(ACT)
And what she said is totally different from what my counselor has told me..
Could you all please help me to figure out this problem …?
Thanks a lot!!
My GPA is 3.60
Colleges look at more than the SAT or ACT score. They will also want to look at your gpa and if you’ve taken college prep classes in high school. The ACT composite is what many colleges with use. And an 18 isn’t great, but if you have an acceptable gpa you can still get into college. Your math score indicates that you can thrive in the English language environment, and college admissions officers will note that.
I think you should talk to your counselor about taking the TOEFL that’s the SAT when English is not your native language. Many colleges will prefer that for students who were not born English language speakers.
Good luck!
