<p>I know it’s a lame excuse, but I just started my second cup of coffee. I just went back and re-read the entire thread. Forgive me. :o</p>
<p>If English is much lower than the 26 in Math, that could be your problem. Especially since nursing is more competitive than the University in general, as luvs2ski pointed out.</p>
<p>YellowJacket76 – I use the concordance from the ACT site, your second link, since it’s jointly published with College Board and is thus “official” to the extent that can be said of anything. 1690 is roughly equivalent to a 25 and 25 to 28 is three points. Now that I’m awake, I see what you’re saying and I would agree that it doesn’t happen every day but it doesn’t raise a red flag for me. </p>
<p>My S’s single-sitting ACT is one point higher than his SAT equivalent, but his ACT superscore is three points higher. He did well on math and science first time out and emphasized English and reading prep the second time to get the higher superscore. So you make a good point that there’s probably a back story.</p>
