[NABS-L] ACT score

[Miso Kwak]

I would like to point out that there is a growing number of
universities that do not require the applicants to submit standardized
test scores. More people are recognizing that standardized tests tend
to be biased against students from disadvantaged backgrounds, and the
test results often do not predict how students will do in higher
education. You can probably find a list of schools that do not require
test scores by searching it up on Google.
I also would like to echo that if the ACT is not working out well for
you, you should give the SAT a try, and vice versa. I was doing poorly
on the SAT but did better on the ACT.
Finally, as others have already pointed out, I hope the test scores
will not discourage anyone struggling too much. The test score is just
one aspect among many other factors in the application process. Put
more time on getting a good GPA and writing your personal statements.
I personally have experienced this as my GRE scores were not stellar,
but my grad school application process ended up being fruitful.

All the best,

Miso
