The standard testing, both ACT and SAT, is great. Where they’ll likely scratch their head is why the GPA is a mismatch. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good GPA, but it’ll be the first and most highly weighted metric they look at and it’s a bit soft relative to the test scores. The bottom line is, you never know. Don’t rank schools, just collect ones she’d be happy at no matter what and then rank the offers.

BTW, Western schools do award the medal too. It’s just a matter of whether or not yours participates.

Good luck!
