Scores do not mean everything, specifically the act. They also do pay attention to her actual achievement vs. how she does in the class. Sure, she made all A’s, but only 3-4s? This shows that either the class was too easy, or she worked enough for a grade but not enough to understand the material. Her 35 is great, she still does have a solid application, but Tech is renowned for its engineering programs. She’s good, but they take the cream of the cream of the crop for their technical degrees. I think she may have just chosen a major that is too competitive for her stats. (Extracurriculars seem like a weakness, some but not enough)
Then again, Tech does say that they do not base their decisions too heavily on the applied major. In other words, they would possibly have still rejected her if she applied to computer science or electrical engineering.
