Edmond Santa Fe High School senior LaBraia Owens is determined to stick to her college- and-career plan, even in the face of a deadly pandemic that has changed everything. “I just have that ambitious personality,” Owens said. “It makes me work harder and problem solve all the things we have to face.” Among the things COVID-19 upended were her game plan for touring college campuses and for taking the ACT college admissions test. Owens, who describes herself as a “B” student, wants to attend college in Texas or California. That will require academic scholarships that are awarded in part on a high ACT score, she said. “I’m reaching for the 30s,” Owens said. The top score is 36. Like her older sister, Owens planned to take the test three times to keep improving her score. Oklahoma’s 2019 graduates who took the ACT two or more times had an average composite score of 21.0, compared to an average of 16.8 for those who took the ACT only once. Owens was ready to take the test initially last spring when the state of Oklahoma was scheduled to administer it to all public-school juniors. But that didn’t happen because schools shut down as the coronavirus spread.
