Hello fellow recommers.
I've been prepping for my US university applications and have found that my SAT I scores do not place me in a good position to place a competitive application for the universities I'm interested in (I'm somewhere around the bottom 50% on the score range for Stanford). Considering the fact that International applicants must outshine their US counterparts to gain entry into these elite universities, I'm a little worried.
I did a lot of work on my SAT I (to the point where I neglected my Semester Exams for A Levels) and my score was a little bit of a disappointment.
So, here's my question. Have any of you taken the ACT? I'd like to know what were your experiences taking the test like and how your scores fared compared to your SATs (if you took them).
Been doing some googling on the ACT and I must say it looks interesting x)
