Jaleel Johnson...

[hawkfarmer]

I'm about 80 % sure that rule only applies to general student admission and not athletes

You're probably right, but they don't post the athelet admission requirments on line

 

[burky247]

Ya I'm pretty sure you just need an 18.

I'm confident Jaleel will get it on his next try. I have no idea why I'm confident since I don't even know the kid. Nevertheless, I'm confident.

Ya you are correct you only need an 18 to qualify for a scholarship.

If that's the way it is I don't see a problem with the standard being at 18 on the ACT to get an athletic scholarship.

Check the following link. Athletes are on a sliding scale for eligibility. If the 2.5 reported above is accurate, Jaleel will have to score in the 68th percentile on the ACT; that is about a 23.

Yeah, I hope he just dogged the test the first time thinking he could breeze to a 20. Maybe with some test prep and practice he gets up to a safe 22.

Oh by the way, whoever put up that massive algorithm, it wasnt needed. We dont know all the variables in the equation for this kid.

I hope he is getting some tutoring for the next test

I hope they take into account the learning disability that it has been reported he has and allow him extra time on each section.

I didn't put the equation up there so you could figure out each kid's RAI and determine what everybody needed to get to qualify, I was putting up what is on the Uof I website for admission for a reference. This obviously doesn't pertain to athletes but I put it up for everyone to see.

I actually talked to Jordan Cotton today and that is what he said he only needed an 18. But im not sure if that was just in state or what.

 

[HawkForce]

Guys the ACT isn't some easy test...I scored pretty highly. But I knew people who did VERY poorly. I hope for his own sake Jaleel is more intelligent than them and can pull it off.

It's different for every athlete. The higher your high school GPA, the lower you have to score on the ACT/SAT. If Cotton only needed an 18, it indicates that he had a high GPA in HS. Check out this link that shows the sliding scale.

Well per rivals it says Jaleel only has a 2.5 so I would think he would have to have a higher score than 18 but maybe not.

I don't quite understand what they're trying to say in that chart. They show ACT scores up in the 80's. The highest score in the ACT is 32.

I think that is a percentile score, not a raw score.

36

Can't we just pay that kid that was on 60 Minutes to take the test for him? Is he available? We should have guys like this on the payroll...one for every body type. You know, "hey, Jaleel needs some help"...and we send in our 6'3" 310lb test taker.

I know LSU has something like this going now. After listening to a few interviews from those guys...no way they qualify for middle school, let alone a major university. Wait, I forgot they are SEC. Football royalty...academic toilets.

 

[BALDIES7980]

36

Last I knew there were many tests with top scores ranging fro 32 to 36.

 

[WayzataHawkeye]

36 is the highest score for the 4 individual sections and the composite.
