@promom4 I agree that it is a (really) long shot. However, they have no chance if they don’t apply. Not much to loose. After reading the thread from last year, there were several kids with really high scores (with good EC) that did not make it. So not sure high scores is the only/main qualifier. Again, I understand how competitive it is but… certainly doesn’t hurt to try.
My son only took the ACT as well and his composite is 33. He is OOS with no A&M connections.
