UF ACT Scores?

Hi everyone, I'm looking at the University of Florida (UF) as one of my top choices for college. Can anyone tell me what the average ACT score range is for admitted students? I'd like to get an idea of how competitive my score is. Thanks!

Hi there! The University of Florida is a great choice, and it's important to understand how your ACT score fits in. According to recent data, the middle 50% ACT score range for admitted students at UF is typically between 28 and 33. In other words, 25% of admitted students score below a 28, while 25% score above a 33, and 50% of students score between those two markers.

Keep in mind that although your ACT score plays a significant role in your application, admissions decisions will also take into account various factors, such as your GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, essays, and recommendations. You can still be a competitive applicant even if your ACT score falls slightly below the given range, so long as your are strong in other areas, while even a perfect 36 won't get you in on its own. So, make sure to present a strong and well-rounded application.

That being said, if your score is within or above the middle 50% range for UF, that's definitely a good sign for your application. If you're below that range, hope isn't lost, but you may want to consider retaking the test, especially if you are well below a 28.

Regardless of your ACT score, UF's school-specific supplemental essays are another great way to help your application stand out, so I'd suggest checking out this blog post from CollegeVine, which breaks down how to tackle each prompt: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-university-of-florida-essays.
