The EDUFAX Educational FAQ

Question #38:

My daughter was turned down from the college of her choice due to lack of math skills and an ACT=19. She has a mild LD. We are looking for a college in Missouri.

Answer #38:

A score of 19 on the SAT is generally accepted by colleges in the Less Competitive category. Your daughter has several options: If she attends a community college, her ACT scores will not be considered when she transfers to the college of her choice. Schools will base their evaluation solely on her college-level work. She may be able to improve her math and learn about study skills and time management by attending a post-graduate year (PG) at an independent, private school. If your daughter is truly committed to going to college next fall, the following schools in the State of Missouri might consider her credentials acceptable (in alphabetical order): Avila College Central Missouri State University Evangel College Lincoln University Missouri Valley College Missouri Western State College Northwest Missouri State University William Woods University EDUFAX provides services for the Learning Disabled Student.
