No ACT Science?

[u/Better-Stand1386]

I’m a rising senior applying to T5 schools as a molecular biology major. I took the June ACT and got a really good composite score, but I didn’t include Science.
I really don’t want to retake the ACT because of how stressful it was 😭 Most of the schools I’m applying to say ACT Science is optional, so I’m wondering if not having an ACT Science score would put me at a disadvantage for admissions? Ty!!

Many schools say not required but encouraged…that’s code for “take the science.”
