<p>It depends on schools… less selective small liberal arts colleges will def take OP into consideration. But more selective schools want students who can follow their rigorous academic programs, and there are many international students out there who speak, write, and read better English. I do not know how well OP reads or speaks English, but I’m assuming based on his/her ACT score. (I think GPA is meaningless at this point)</p>
<p>And as many other people said, I think other schools might be your better bet. Not just because they are selective, but it will be hard for you to catch up the classes even if you get in. There are so many other good colleges, and by “good colleges,” I don’t mean US News rankings, but “college that fits you.” For some people, Columbia fits them, for some people it isn’t. Not because of your ACT scores, but I think you might want more attention from your professors and all to improve your English. Good luck with college search!</p>
<p>Thank you everyone!!!</p>
<p>Hey, I’m high school student! All honors and AP classes but I don’t know why I got a 22??? Even though I have a 5.0!!!
English:24
Math:24
Science:19
Reading:19
English is my second language and I have just moved to the USA around a year ago. Please help me out!!!</p>
<p>The fact that you have a “5.0” grade point average while not having learned actual subject matter sufficient to have scored high on ANY test should prompt an investigation of every math, science, and English teacher you’ve ever had.</p>
<p>Sorry…that was more of a rant than anything else, but seriously you SHOULD ask every English teacher why you earned an “A” in that class if your level of proficiency wasn’t SUPERIOR (which, as you probably realize, it most certainly is not).</p>
<p>What do you think if pace university?</p>
<p>Pace University is not so hard to get in… I think it’s totally possible. But google “Pace University average ACT” There should be About.com article on that. They have articles on almost all colleges in the U.S., so just google the schools you are thinking about… You should get a rough idea if your score is high enough or not.</p>
