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]
NP. You are misunderstanding what that article says.

Clare was aware that Pennsylvania State University, which he planned to attend, could withdraw his admissions offer based on revoked ACT scores. He was also aware that he had just turned down [b]other[/b] admissions offers, including one with a $25,000 scholarship offer.

The merit award was NOT from Penn State.

Reading comprehension. It’s important. [/quote]
