Hi! I'm considering applying to Auburn University and wanted to know the average ACT score for admitted students. Should I aim for a specific score range? Thanks for any info!
Hi there! The average ACT score for admitted students at Auburn University is typically in the range of 24-30, with the 50th percentile of admitted students falling between these scores—25% of students score below a 24, 25% score above a 30, and the remaining 50% score between these two endpoints.
To maximize your chances of admission, you should aim for at least a 30 to be in the upper range of admitted students. However, keep in mind that Auburn University, like many other schools, considers your application holistically, so factors such as your GPA, extracurricular activities, and essays will also play an important role in the admissions process. Even a perfect 36 won’t get you in on its own, while on the flip side, being slightly below this range doesn’t automatically mean you’ll be rejected—you can compensate by being especially strong in other areas.
Good luck with your application to Auburn!
