possible to get in with a 24 ACT?

do you mean that only 34% go to college from your school?

pretty they round a 23.5 up to a 24, but that’s not superscoring. superscoring combines scores from different tests. most schools superscore SAT’s, but not ACT’s. Columbia does not superscore ACT’s.

and i’m sorry, but I would really highly doubt a 24 would make the cut, unless you REALLY REALLY stand out in the rest of your app. that being said, schools look at context. given your circumstances, it would be much more understandable to have a low ACT score than a more privileged individual who has better resources and access to study materials for such a test… although in theory it’s not a test you can study for…

best of luck to you
