is ACT scores important?

Well yes but actually not.

It depends of both the university/college you're going to apply to, as well as your overall application. Nowadays, because of the pandemic, most top schools (and many competitive & safety schools) have adquire the "Test-Optional" policy (as well as a Holistic review of your app). Therefore, if the ACT is important, or not, it depends on the college you're applying to, and your overall stats, extra-curr, honors, and essay. If you have GREAT extracurriculars, an outstanding essay, and a really nice list of honors, ACT might not be the most important aspect of your app. Nevertheless, it does not hurt anybody to have a nice score in the ACT/SAT.

So, once again, it depends.
