[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s amusing that you think 1400 is a low score [/quote]

For an average student it’s great. For a kid without a hook apply to Rice or Cornell, it’s a deal killer.

You have an excuse not to submit, OP. Use it.

Another idea.  I have a rising junior who two ACTs cold this week. No prep. Just trying to get an idea if it was better than the SAT.  She got  a 34 (35 combined verbal) on the first one and and a 35 (combined verbal of 36) on the second. Not going into STEM. If she can do that on the actual test, you’d better believe we are going to get scores.

We have grandparents and siblings in NC, SC and GA.  She’ll probably ED a SLAC. IF test dates are till being cancelled this spring, we are planning to take her down to a sketchy public health state over spring break to sit for the ACT.  It’s a great year to have a solid score. Maybe a trip to NY or New England or one of he states not cancelling is in order? It would be worth it to have scores in the 1520+ range to submit. [/quote]

It is a pandemic and you are planning on traveling to have your child take the ACT again when she already has a 35? This is either a troll post or you really have no perspective. There’s nearly no SLAC for which your daughter with an ED application will not be a competitive applicant with a 35 and actually she will look crazy that she did exactly what you are planning when the admissions officers see that she traveled away from how to a “Red” state during the pandemic to sit for it again. Think again.[/quote]

I think the PP was saying 35 on practice tests at home, not the real thing. [/quote]
