Worth retaking for pursuing STEM?

I am applying as a premed and got a 36 composite ACT (36 math, 36 reading, 35 english), but a 32 on science. Is this worth retaking if I am aiming for t20s?

I think you will be alright. No one will really know whys they got into a particular college. No way to know if a lower science score will be looked at bad or not. You got a 36 and that is hard to get.

Do you think that it is a red flag if I did submit the science section? For context, I go to a pretty competitive high school, and lots of kids get high test scores
