Yeah the ACT is definitely one of those funky midwest things, I applied to a bunch of schools and the only time I saw ACT was for a school in Minnisota.
Oh and they changed the SAT, 1600 used to be perfect, now its 2400.
It sucks for me cause I was asked the other day what I got, and when I said 1330 the response was "oh, must not be a strong test taker huh" and I was all like

"90 something percentiles are too good what you talkin bout"
