Should I send my ACT scores to Bowdoin? I am planning on applying ED but my GPA is very weak for the school since i have a 3.40 unweighted while their average is around 3.8. (my GPA would be much higher but my freshman year really brings it down, also i have a consistently upward trend in my GPA and and have have a fairly challenging curriculum) anyway, I received a composite score of a 30 on the ACT (31 English, 28 Math) but i have read that Bowdoin’s “middle 50%” ACT scores are from 31-34 (however some sites say it is 30-33). Either way this would put me near the bottom of the average for admitted students. My main concern is that since my GPA is very low, I would assume that my test scores, although below average, would make me look like a more fitting applicant for the school? In the end, I know that it is very unlikely that i will get accepted with my GPA but I have very distinguishable extra curricular activities and beleive my essays are very convincing, all i need to know is how my scores will influence my application.
