<p>Actually, a 35 is at the 99th percentile while a 31 is at the 97th percentile for the ACT.</p>
<p>The problem my son had is when you look at his ACT score on the Naviance scattergrams for more competitive schools, his GPA is definitely on the low side. He was always an outlier on Naviance for his reach schools. His GPA should be been a lot higher for a 31. Most the schools he looked at with a 31-33 ACT range had an average GPA greater than 3.7. So, we had the same issue as the OP.</p>
