You guys are obviously old timers.
The world has changed and so have the ACT scores - several years ago they simply added a few points to the base value - so an old 21 or so became a 24. It has been well publicized. That 16 you mentioned is now close to a 19.
No one gets into OU with a 16 today. That would be like a 13 when you were in school - which was a virtual guarantee you could not do college work.
If you have a 3.0 in High School you MAY be accepted with at least a 20 on the ACT. Athletes sometimes get in under that method. But they often struggle mightily in their course work.
It is disrespectful to publicly post private ACT scores of students.
If I remember correctly, OU publicly stated a while back that they no longer intend to teach remedial courses. The students needing them have to attend a community college - and I think one even offers classes on the OU campus for some kids.

I am older than dirt, LOL. But I want you, Sweet, and everyone else to realize that I did not condone, in any way, the release of her score.
I wouldn't have done it.
I did defend her score. Just because she has a lousy score on a standardized test does not mean she cannot excel in college and have a productive life.
Eighteen year olds often don't have their academic house in order, but do get it together.
