@MikeTyson51 a 36 on the act still equates to a 2370 on the sat, one question off from a perfect score. There is virtually no difference between a 2370 and a 2400. I’m sure the percent acceptance of 2400 scorers is still roughly 23%.
Regardless, you’re missing the point. There is far more to college admissions than test scores and gpa. You need exceptional ec’s, essay, etc. Even still, you can never guarantee acceptance to highly selective colleges.
