<p>I fear for your chances, because there seems to be a general trend to denigrate standardized tests.</p>
<p>Some colleges “pretend” that a 34 ACT does not mean anything, when we all know full well that someone who gets to the 99th percentile on a standardized test is a good college candidate. I am always amazed when I see some kid on CC who says he is valecdictorian of his high school class, but says he only has a 29 ACT.</p>
<p>However, given that you also have shown good grades in your AP courses, you should get in. To the extent you can, you should try and let the school know about this, because with thousands of applicants, your good AP results might get lost in the shuffle.</p>
<p>Wisconsin is a great place to go to school. My best friend from high school went there for graduate school, and loved it. (although that was 40 years ago)</p>
<p>Just like there are schools that are SAT optional, there are probably schools out there that place more emphasis on standardized tests than others. Perhaps people on CC know which schools they are. I would be interested in the answer to that question, because my son too got a 34 ACT, but his gpa is somewhat low by CC standards (about a 3.7 unweighted)</p>
