Because we live in a rural state with a very low SI cutoff. Her PSAT score is 630 math, 730 verbal. Did not study. Should be commended at least.
She took the ACT as a sophomore, did not study for it. She did get a 31 English, 35 Reading. Definitely will take the ACT over to get a 30 composite, which would make her eligible for full tuition, full room and board at University of Alabama-Huntsville. Good coop programs there, I have heard.
