My daughter has a 20 on the ACT and a 3.5 gpa taking honors classes through our high school. She is heavily involved in school and her community. She is retaking the act again next weekend so hoping to get a high score. Does anyone who has had or know of a child getting accepted with a 20 but a solid gpa ? Thank you !
Absolutely, there’s plenty of universities that will accept her stats, depending on what state you live in. Most universities weight them both evenly on a sliding scale. I can think of about 4 or 5 in Texas that would accept her. Getting a higher score would definitely open a few more doors, but she should be just fine.
Thanks. She is trying for lsu. We are louisiana residents so hoping it helps.
They have a new holistic acceptance policy now that will take lower ACT if they have other qualities like service, activities, etc. I think she has a good chance with her GPA. It is more important than ACTs. Good luck! Lots of Louisiana kids wanting to go to LSU next year! Geaux Tigers!
