Can anyone provide some insight into a pattern we are seeing with different statistics for college admissions?
I have been on a number of websites - College Board, US News Rankings, College Niche, Super Match etc and all the schools I am seeing are showing a higher GPA acceptance average and a lower ACT acceptance average. I’m expecting a 2.9 - 3.0 GPA and ACT 25 - 26 from my son. I know there are a lot of Fair Test schools out there but what if the student does better on the ACT than his GPA ? Does the reverse work for acceptance ? i.e Hofstra has appeared on a few of his lists due to the lower ACT range yet the GPA seems to start at 3.5.
