I did ED and have everything but the ACT score

<p>A fellow member posted a thread saying they have high standardized test scores but low G.P.A. I am the opposite. My GPA is 5.94 weighted primarily because I have taken AP and IB courses. BUT, my ACT score is 26 and 27. :frowning: My interview went great and I have excellent extra curriculars. I think my essays were alright too – my favorite being about what we don’t know. </p>

<p>Will my ACT be detrimental despite everything else I have worked so hard for?</p>

<p>It’s kind of low, but you never know! Just hope for the best and see what happens on the 14th :)</p>

<p>Once you found out your ACT test scores, did you retake it? Did you take the SAT I? the SATIIs? What are your AP scores? </p>

<p>If the adcoms only have one low test score, that’s not a big deal (IMO). If you consistently test at that low level, that’ll tell them something else altogether, such as grade inflation.</p>

<p>I am in the same vote as you right now. I applied ED to Brown and have a 28 on English for ACT, and a 27 for Math. Average of 26. I would love to go to Brown…it is my dream school. But I am worried that my ACT score will highly diminish my chances of getting accepted. So I tried to go a different route…if I don’t have high test scores, I tried to convince them through my essays that I will bring diversity to the campus. Ivies LOVE diversity. Haha…so I will see how that worked out in about 6 days. Ehhh. I am really worried about it though. Even if I don’t get accepted for next year, I think I might try and transfer for my sophomore year. Let me know how it goes :)</p>

<p>I have done well on my AP exams, I’m an AP Scholar. I just have a problem with the testing conditions for ACT/SAT. :'(</p>

<p>On my application I stressed my diversity, so that’s a good thing. I guess we’ll find out in 6 days, JFVollegirl27. It’s gonna be D-Day. :p</p>
