Looking for big schools that look at applicants activities/leadership

All 3 of my kids did poorly, my oldest (senior in college and going to graduate with honors) barely broke a 1000. LOTS of tears, LOTS of prep, LOTS of stress during that time when taking that test multiple times. She did do slightly better on the ACT (I think maybe a 19). My second got a 1100 but ended up applying test optional to most schools and then this one got a 900 on the PSAT. We did all the test prep for the other two, test courses, private tutors etc… I think both got to the point of taking it that no amount of prep was going to bring it up enough to make a difference. So for my 3rd and that kinda PSAT score, she decided long ago she would not get caught up in it and apply test optional and hope that what she does have, is good enough or at least she will go where shes wanted. Problem is here we are and she is still struggling to find schools to apply to (and thats part her too as she is an over thinker- Hey maybe thats why she didn’t do well on the test lol)
