<p>MSU offers freshmen students in the Honors College with a 33 ACT the opportunity to be in the Professorial Assistantship program. They qualify for a "job" working with a professor (approx $2500/yr.) plus a scholarship ($5000/yr.) Anyone know if there is flexibility on the 33 ACT? My D has a 32, but a 33 superscored. She is currently first in her class at her full-IB programme high school with unweighted 4.0 GPA. The extra $7500/yr. would potentially sway her to attend MSU.</p>
<p>such specific questions can most easily and usually best be answered by MSU personnel, OP. If you really want to avoid that for some reason, try the MSU forum.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>According to the MSU admissions counselor, it looks like they don’t superscore the ACT, though it is indirectly referred to. But this post does open another option, taking ACT again w/o writing. The test is SO long and draining. Eliminating the writing part might enable her to get a higher composite score. If she has the time and will to sit through it again. Sounds like she’s taken it at least twice already.</p>
