So, if you know a kid with a 26/27 ACT scores in an impoverished school with a school average of 17-19, that kid is more likely to get in than a kid with a 29 in a school with a much higher ACT average.

Tell kids if they did a lot better than their zip code to submit a score and apply.

Also, they waive application fee for anyone who gets free/reduced lunch or lives in subsidized housing.
