19 ACT, 3.947 gpa

Grandma's Homeschooling Community College?

Nope, it’s not caring in high school, and going to college at 28-33 years old.

I don’t know. My ACT was 19 and my graduating GPA was 3.0

A 19 ACT would prob have predicted about a 2.0-2.5

Depends on the school. A 19 probably projects to a 4.0 at BYU-Idaho

I guess mine was pretty accurate

It looks like that’s estimating your ACT based on high school GPA, right?

Mike Honcho

Correct

If that’s the case mine is way wrong. My HS GPA was 3.91

Yeah for me it’s right for the HS GPA, but way off for BYU GPA

Who remembers their ACT score? I have no idea what I scored at this point.

edited.... i'd bet EVERYONE who scored something they felt was great remembers exactly what they got....

Really? I took that test in 1993. It is so insignificant.

ACT scores are significant. What you got 30 years ago might be insignificant now... but it certainly

HarlemCoug

Out here SAT was pushed hard because of UC system. Nobody I knew besides myself

It's only insignificant if you didn't care what college you went to.

I am more likely to recall accurately my ACT score than my GPA. I have zero clue

28 ACT and 2.98 GPA. This was long ago.
