Hey everyone, I recently got a 32 on my ACT and I was wondering what that would be equivalent to if I had taken the SAT instead? I just want to get a better understanding of how competitive my score is in terms of college admissions. Thanks in advance!
Hey, congrats on your 32 ACT score! To answer your question, a 32 ACT score is roughly equivalent to an SAT score of 1430. It's important to keep in mind that these equivalencies are just approximations and may vary slightly across different sources. However, a 32 ACT or 1430 SAT should be competitive for many colleges.
When considering your competitiveness for college admissions, it's helpful to compare your score with the middle 50% SAT/ACT score range of admitted students at the colleges you're interested in. If your score falls within or above this range, it generally means you're a good fit academically for those schools. Beyond test scores, though, colleges also review your GPA, extracurriculars, essays, and other elements of your application through a holistic admissions process.
Good luck with your college applications!
