My brilliant, but overconfident D26 sent her ACT scores to a number of schools through ACT. You can apparently elect to send scores to up to 5 schools for free before you take the exam.
This was a tactical mistake. While submitting her scores was fine at 3 of her 5 schools, her ACT score is at the 25th percentile for 2 of her favorite schools.
We are not from a demographic/situation where 25th percentile scores will be looked at favorably.
ACT says that they cannot reverse this.
My question is…through the Common Application, can she still apply as Test Optional or will the scores submitted to the schools automatically appear in her Common App file?
I know that the clearest answer will come from directly contacting the schools, but we really hate bothering them. I am hoping to hear that there is a clear “Common App” answer.
