This is where I read it @sybbie719 , on the Barnard page.
I think it is strange that an 85 average is required, but the max ACT is 24 on English. that’s really threading the needle to be the perfect applicant. One of my kids probably had about an 85 average (like a 3.5?) but had a 30 in Enligh/reading on the ACT. Her issues were in math and science. I’d think she’d have been the type of student Barnard would want, one who really liked school, struggled in some areas but could keep up with other Barnard students in humanities courses.
I guess not.
