They told my kid he needed a 28 or 29 on the ACT to be admitted. His GPA was well over 4.0 weighted and 3.97 unweighted. I told him after his sophomore year to take the summer to study for the test like his life depended on it. During baseball travel tournaments, he'd take full tests in the morning while his buddies played golf or slept in. He was so determined that the test he'd take in the fall of his junior year would be the only time he'd have to take it.
He ended up scoring 34 the Saturday after a September football game, despite being completely gassed. The hard work paid off for him. It might have paid off for her too. The problem was she was worried that it might not and that her other offers would be gone. So she went to Oregon instead. She's doing great academically, met a nice baseball catcher and thrived on the court. I'd say she did just fine!
