Admissions/Application Question act test score?

hi! applying this cycle from a more rural county and UNC is one of my top schools! I'm just wondering if I should submit my ACT score or not!

I got a 31 composite, 25 math (yikes i know), 34 english, 35 reading, 26 science

I'm retaking 1 more time but I really doubt it'll go up. I'm applying as a bio major so it worries me a bit bc of the stem connection ig

Should I still submit? Should I submit only math, english, reading?

- Top 5% of class + decent ec's.

I got a 26 and still got in. I didnt submit my ACT though. That act score is unlikely to hurt your chances imo

General rule is submit if you are above the 25th percentile

This past year. I’m a current freshman. I would have retaken it but I just didn’t feel like and I lowkey didn’t mean to submit but I clicked a wrong button somewhere along the lines

You should submit. That's a great score. UNC doesn't admit by major, so you could literally list any major and switch when you arrive.
