One of my daughters had the same thing happen when she only took the ACT. In the end though, she transferred into the school from our Community College anyways for her last 2 years and saved about $50K in doing so.

I always need to remember that things happen for a reason and usually for the better. At the time though it is very difficult to believe that it will all work out.

I'm glad it worked out for your daughters, My son had his heart set on a particular college. He took only the ACT and was rejected. His scores and transcripts were more than enough to be admitted but the school has for years only admitted people on the basis of SAT scores inspite of what they say in their admissions catalog.

I won't go into my opinions about the role of alumni charitable gifts role in the admissions process but the whole process has been corrupted for decades.

Exactly what our daughter did. 2 years JC Honors Program, transfer to major University. Degree in Business and Finance. Now, 33 years old and a millionaire.

It can be done.
