Prior to TO days, D19’s college accepted her with an ACT right at the previous year’s 25th percentile, and it ended up being 1 point below that for her entry year. I think common wisdom is that the lower 25th comprises hooked applicants or those like art/drama/music etc that need a portfolio for entry, but she was none of those. I’d say if your daughter wants to submit, let her. I agree that the middle 50 is probably skewed higher for most schools now too so it probably doesn’t look as “bad” as you think it does.
