Hi! I was wondering if anyone has information about the average ACT scores or score range for students admitted to UT Austin? Like, what's a competitive ACT score for them?
Hi there! UT Austin is a fairly competitive school, and understanding the average ACT scores of admitted students can be helpful in gauging your chances. While they don't have strict ACT score requirements, it's useful to know the range that most accepted students fall within.
For the middle 50% of admitted students in a recent incoming class at UT Austin, the ACT composite scores ranged from 27 to 33. This means that 25% of students scored below a 27 and 25% scored above a 33. If you're aiming to have a competitive ACT score, it's a good idea to target a score within or above this range.
Of course, remember that UT Austin evaluates applications holistically, meaning they consider various factors such as GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, and essays in addition to test scores. While a strong ACT score certainly boosts your chances, it's also important to focus on other aspects of your application to create a well-rounded, compelling profile.
Best of luck with your application to UT Austin!
