Hi friends, I'm a junior deep in college research mode and found Case Western Reserve University as a potential option. What is the typical ACT score range they're looking for? Any advice would be helpful!
Case Western Reserve University, like many universities, has adopted a test-optional policy for the fall 2024 applicants due to the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, submitting ACT scores is not required for consideration. However, if you still wish to submit your scores, it's a good idea to aim for a competitive score to strengthen your application.
For the most recent statistics available, the middle 50% ACT range for accepted students at Case Western was between 32 and 35. This means that 25% of accepted students scored below 32, and the other 25% scored above 35 on the ACT. While these numbers can give you a general sense of what the university considers strong test scores, keep in mind that these are not strict requirements and that your application will be evaluated holistically.
Thus, having a score in the suggested range increases your chances, but it's essential to focus on other aspects of your application as well. Course rigor, GPA, extracurricular activities, leadership roles, community service, and a compelling essay are all important factors that can strengthen your application. Demonstrate your strengths and unique qualities to stand out from the crowd.
Remember, Case Western may continue with its test-optional policy, so keep an eye on their admissions website or contact the admissions office for the most updated information specific to your application year.
