Act Test Dilemma
So as reading through a lot of the SA Threads looking at DD options for Plan A-Z my stomach is a flip flopping mess. My DD is a 4.37 GPA, 500 hours of community service, Leader of Feed the Children through Winter (local fundraiser), 4.5 credits off of getting her AA (currently has 6 units in progress, Outstanding CFA scores, ASB Council/Seat 1, Multiple Sports......Issue: Her freaking ACTs! She has Competitve Scores for everything but Math and Science (just qualified for Science). Her last and final ACT test is coming up in 2 weeks. She has had a tutor for 3 months and has been scoring 34 for Math (let's just say way better than the first test). She is studying for her Science here and there....Here is the question: If she scores a 28-32 in Math and had a 25/26 in Science will this still keep her from being Competitve enough? She was told that with everything above and her scores she would be on the path for Prep, that would be better than nothing. But if her Math ACT scores are in that range and her Science isn't but it's still considered Qualifying....Won't that prevent her from the possibility of Prep? OK first and BIG First Plan A is USAFA...But Plan B is Prep and there are Plans C-Z (No Joke)!
