Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone knows what the average ACT score is for students admitted to Cornell University? I'm trying to figure out if my score is competitive enough. Thanks!
Hi! The average ACT score for admitted students at Cornell University typically falls within the range of 32 to 35. However, remember that Cornell University has a holistic admissions process, and your ACT score is just one of several factors under consideration.
While it is important to aim for a competitive ACT score, they will also evaluate your grades, course rigor, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation when reviewing your application. If your score falls within or above the mentioned range, that is a great accomplishment and will be considered favorably in the admissions process. However, if your score is slightly below the average range, don't lose hope, as other areas of your application may help you stand out in the admissions process.
Make sure to work on creating a well-rounded profile by emphasizing your strengths in other areas, such as extracurriculars or essay writing, if you feel your ACT score is not as strong as it could be. Best of luck with your application to Cornell!
