gpa required for the following chapters?

What about the opposite? The PNM that has high grades and low SAT/ACT. I would assume if given a choice, you would not list them. What is considered good on the SAT/ACT today? When I took the SAT with my stone tablet and the no abacus rule my 1350 was considered excellent. But I noticed scores seemed to be going up even before they added the extra 800 points. SO if a 30 is good on the ACT where does it become not so good 25, 28? And what about the SAT is 2100 good and below 1800 not so good?
I hope that makes sense.

I realize it depends on the school, but I thinking about places where everyone has 3.8 or above GPA. Would you use test scores to help decide who gets the grades brownie points?

The highest score possible on the ACT is a 36, and it really depends on the person you're asking, but I've always considered below a 23 to be nothing to write home about. Last time I checked, the national average was a 22 or something. The average for HS grads around here is about a 25 or 26. To be honest, the sororities where I went to school really only looked at the GPAs. Our recruitment apps weren't set up to include HS test scores.

This applied to my school (everyone has a 3.8 and above), but it was kind of a moot point since we had deferred recruitment and took first semester grades. But at the same time, we didn't even get test scores. I don't think that's a common thing to even get on a rush application.

Welcome back, DoubleRose,

The Alpha Gam RIF doesn't include space for ACT or SAT. That doesn't mean that the PNM cant include the information on a resume, if the school recommends one.

Hindsight: My High School GPA was good, my test scores were ok, but my college grades were great. So, I can't agree with those who say that test scores are a good prediction. Point blank....I am a bad test taker. But I'll blow someone away on an project or a paper.

Thanks I've been lurking, but decided not to comment much until my daughter is done with rush. I wasn't concerned about my daughter her grades and tests are fine. But I have noticed other groups have Test scores and Class rank on their rec forms. I was wondering if people looked at them as mch as GPA, but that might be touching on MS. It just seems like GPA is the only thing that everyone worries about.

Hope everyone had a great Fourth weekend.
