| Is that enough for a girl with no hooks and a 93.4? |

| She feels it's enough for schools she is looking at but the school said she might want to consider taking it again so we're not sure what to do. Have never been through this before. |

That's fair but no one can really answer that question unless which schools she's looking at. My DC (Asian), even a 36 and other high stats weren't enough for top tier schools. So it depends... |

| At a 34 ACT, I don't think the scores are going to make or break an application. At that probably writing a really excellent, unique essay would tip the scales more than getting a 35 or 26. |

What colleges is she looking at? |

| a 34 will get you in the look pile almost everywhere. But not enough info given in the OP to tell if that alone is "good enough." |

| Not applying to an ivy or top ten school. Maybe those ranked 10 - 30th. |

| so many variables.... a decent act score will not get you intothetop 10-30 alone. A 93.4 gpa has to be placed in context with difficulty of chosen classes and other peers from her school that are also applying same schools. Then throw in ECs, sports, leadership and the required essays. Also recs can be very important... especially if the same teachers/counselors are writing them for many kids. |
