What Is The Minimum Sat/act Score To Get Into Gallaudet

Is 1050 a good SAT score?

It depends on where you want to apply. The national average (for seniors) is around 1080. Students applying for Ivy League admission should aim for a 1500 or above. A score of 800 is considered low by most colleges.Here is a sampling of some of the average SAT and ACT scores for colleges:Harvard (SAT 1540) (ACT 34)Stanford (SAT 1510) (ACT 33)Duke (SAT 1530) (ACT 32)Northwestern (SAT 1510) (ACT 33)NYU (SAT 1410) (ACT 31)UCLA (SAT 1350) (ACT 29)Texas (SAT 1340) (ACT 29)Georgia (SAT 1300) (ACT 28)Washington (SAT 1310) (ACT 29)Florida State (SAT 1260) (ACT 27)Michigan State (SAT 1190) (ACT 26)Boise State (SAT 1100) (ACT 23)San Jose State (SAT 1110) (ACT 23)Western Carolina (SAT 1090) (ACT 22)Bowling Green (SAT 1110) (ACT 22)Southern Maine (SAT 1050) (ACT 22)Gallaudet (SAT 970) (ACT 17)Note that these scores were computed using the rounded average of the 50thpercentile range on College Board’s College Search.To learn the average SAT and ACT scores of specific universities, either visit their admissions page or check out College Board’s College Search Feature (https://bigfuture.collegeboard.o...). Enter the school’s name into the search bar, and then click on “Applying” when the college page opens up. About halfway down the “Applying” page are tabs, including a tab for “SAT & ACT Scores.” Click on that tab to learn the average test score range of incoming freshman.Good luck!Vicki

I have a gpa of 2.5 and got an 16 on ACT, can I still get into a good college?

Those are somewhat low scores and to me they would indicate that you've had issues with high school courses. They certain don't disqualify you in any way from college. Now there are many reasons that you might have had problems with high schools, but the 16 ACT score also indicates that it seems like you have some holes in your education.  I wouldn't be focused on which school I would go to, but much more on filling those gaps.  The reasons is that being admitted to a reasonably good university is only the first step of a very long foot race.  Students who have gaps in their education have much higher dropout rates and while that time is college can be valuable in terms of subsequent work, it usually is quite expensive and leaves a bitter taste in many students mouths.Instead of directly applying to college, I would at least consider community college for two years.  First, you'll get an A.A. degree.  Second, community colleges doe a better job of giving you time to fill in the gaps in your education at a much lower cost at a pace of your own.  After that, you can transfer and if you've done well, you'll be able to get into pretty good schools (I've known several UC Berkeley students who transferred from community college -- and UC Berkeley is one of the top public schools in the country).  If the class room work has been a struggle, you can find technical certifications that will get you int a reasonable profession.Now, if you've just had problems meshing with teachers at your school and had an off-day taking the ACT and would have gotten a 24 on a better day, the story changes.   But with the information you've provided, I'd focus first on getting the education you need for yourself. I would strongly caution you about staying away from for-profit colleges. These frequently have very high tuition (comparable to Harvard's) and they'll work with you to get school loans -- but you'll have to repay those loans over a long time.  There have been numerous stories on how these for-profit degrees really don't deliver on what they claim they will.  Assuming that you're in high school, you should have a guidance counsellor who can give you information on community colleges in the area.

What specifically do UC colleges look for in the way a person expresses himself on the application?

An extraordinary essay is a tall order, but it can be done - and not necessarily by students who've done extraordinary things.Here's the short list.1. Make it acutely, achingly personal. You're unlikely to say something we haven't already heard about socialism. You are more likely to have unique perspectives on the treatment of LGBT students in small town America.2. Aim for genuine emotional originality. You know those times when you look at the world and wonder how it's possible that people see things so differently than you do? And that one time you tried to explain yourself to your best friend and he looked at you like you were crazy? That's what you're aiming for here. You want the admissions officer to read the essay, put it back down again, stare at a spot on the floor and whisper with awe, "My goodness, I've never thought of it that way!"3. The "let's go out for a beer" test. No, I don't really mean beer. Unless we're in Europe. Then, sure, I'll buy you one. But there's that phrase, "someone I'd like to go have a beer with" - make it about you. Show that you are interesting, riveting. You stand out. 4. Inspire someone. The application is as much about them as it is about you. Think about who your college wants. They want a student that will inspire other students, who will make changes, who will go off after college to do impressive things, then come back and donate money. Or donate time. Or at least give a graduation speech or two. When I was an interviewer, I wanted to walk away from an interview saying, "What an impressive young person. I would have loved to be friends with her in college." 5. Don't lie. We will be able to tell. This sounds obvious, but it isn't. I'm not talking about fabricating your resume. Not the lies that aggrandize your accomplishments, but those that aggrandize your intentions. Sure, you went to Physics summer camp and got a 5 on the AP exam, but don't tell me you want to be the next Marie Curie unless you mean it. And by the way, very few students do at this stage. It's ok not to know what you want. Some of the most accomplished and interesting people in the world don't know what they want. But write about your path and your journey in such a way to make me want to walk it with you and be a part of it.Know more details from here: Ivy League and Elite College Application Guidance
