As of right now, DD will apply this year as a review applicant because she can’t get the ACT math subscore of 27 necessary to be an academic admit (she has a 26). She’ll apply with a 30 composite, in the top 14% of her class, GPA 4.4 weighted/3.7 unweighted, mostly honors and AP classes, with loads of extracurricular/leadership/work experience and good letters of recommendation. Does anyone know how it works if she applies August 1 as a review candidate but then does better on her ACT in September and gets the 27 in math? Will she change to an academic admit or remain a review applicant since that’s how she applied, or would it be better to wait to apply until she sees how she does on the next ACT (she wants to major in engineering, so she knows it’s best to apply as soon as possible)? Any input would be greatly appreciated!
