@kbm770

We were at an in-person college visit yesterday so didn’t get a chance to log into the new ACT site until we got home. Of course, by then it was FAR too late. Next available date is December, so we’re also hanging it up. She tested in February without prep and was happy with the composite, though math was lopsided. Not a huge deal since she’s not looking to study anything quantitative, but a bummer because she’s actually a super strong in math. Let’s hope her grades – and an LOR from her Calc teacher – will tell that story well enough.

@kbm770 FWIW my D was accepted to several highly selective SLAC RD with lopsided SATs, much higher verbal than math. Like your D, she had excellent grades in math, and wasn’t interested in quantitative fields of study. Her expressed academic interests, ECs, and art portfolio painted a clear picture of her strengths. IMO being an arts and humanities student made a difference in her outcome given how many applicants indicate their intention to major in STEM and econ.
