Hey everyone, I'm really interested in the University of Maryland and was wondering what the average ACT score for admitted students is. I want to know what score range I should aim for to increase my chances of getting in. Thanks for your help!
Hey! The University of Maryland, College Park, typically has an average ACT score range of around 33 for its admitted students. It's worth noting that this number has been going up over the last few years, from 32 in the 2020-2021 applications cycle, to 33 in the 2021-2022 cycle, to 34 in the 2022-2023 cycle.
Having a score around 33-34 will definitely boost your odds of acceptance at University of Maryland. However, keep in mind that UMD, like many colleges, considers multiple factors when evaluating applications, such as your GPA, the rigor of your high school coursework, extracurriculars, and essays. So, while it's important to aim for a strong ACT score, it's also crucial to focus on other aspects of your application to ensure you can present a well-rounded profile.
Good luck with your application, and I hope you achieve the ACT score you're aiming for!
