This is great news! [/quote]

Okay, that article says the kid was offered a $20K scholarship somewhere with ACT scores in the low 20s.

How on earth is that possible?

[b]Where are these kids going to college where they are getting scholarship for such low or middling ACT/SAT scores?[/b]

I thought kids need SATs in the upper 1300s to 1400s or ACTs in the upper 20s/low 30s to even get accepted to college, and much higher for scholarships.[/quote]

Penn State.  Didn't you read the article?[/quote]

I read only one of them.  I did not see Penn State listed as the school that offered the $20k merit aide. The article said he turned that school down but did not mention what school it was.

I did not realize that students only need a low 20s ACT to get accepted to Penn State with merit age.  I am shocked, actually [/quote]

This is when you realize that only reading DCUM gives you a really warped view of the world.  [/quote]

But Penn State's average ACT is 25 to 29.

21 is WAY below average, and 26 is a skin of your teeth admittance. How do either of those scores result in merit awards?[/quote]
They don’t.[b] Penn State was never mentioned.[/b] She lives in Florida anyway. Idk where PP came up with it..[/quote]

It was in the link posted above. The kid's name is Brendan Clare: https://www.insidehighered.com/admissions/article/2019/01/14/lawsuit-against-act-adds-criticism-testing-organizations-allegedly[/quote]
