ACT/SAT does not mean anything

Main Post:

I had a 24 composite on my ACT because of testing anxiety. I have over a 3.85 GPA in Computer Science & Engineering. I have achieved over a 3.5 every semester at Ohio State. The one thing about people with high standardized test scores is they could study well for one test. I was able to do it for 4 years. If you have a low standardized test score, then you will be fine if you develop good study habits. If you have a high standardized test, then that is great. However, I’ll break the news to you that you will have to work just as hard as everybody else.

Top Comment: I mean obviously scoring poorly on the ACT is not the end all be all to telling whether you will be successful in college, but to imply it means nothing is just not true in my opinion. More often than not people who score higher will be more successful in college than those that do not score well.
