[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stevens Institute of Technology? Right near NY and the students fit how you describe. Only problem is she has to want to do STEM and the school is very gender imbalanced.

Really?  Not being snarky, both ACT and SAT are low. What schools in MD and DC "say" they don't look at test scores?  That would be the best approach.  The 3.3 GPA is good.  OP, are you adding in the written component of the ACT test into that combosite score?  You know that you don't have to report that right?  Our Aspie teen did a combined 32 ACT but utterly failed the written portion because she can't write - it was ungradeable.  But ACT reports only the math and english and she had a 3.4 GPA so did just fine getting into college.  I would search for those schools that tout they no longer look at testing, take the "holistic" approach, etc.  You might want to have her tutored and retake the ACT.  We were advised that the ACT is better for SN kids and that certainly turned out to be true in the case of our daughter.[/quote]

A 23 is about a 1590 which is 100 points higher than a 1490.[/quote]
