Hey guys! I'm planning to apply to Stanford. Can anyone tell me what the average ACT score for admitted students is? And if you're comfortable sharing, what was your ACT score when you applied? Thanks!
Hey there! The average ACT score for admitted students at Stanford University typically falls within the 34-35 range. Keep in mind, however, that Stanford practices a holistic review process, meaning that they take into account many aspects of your application (like your extracurriculars, essays, and recommendations) along with your test scores. So, even if your ACT score is slightly below average, you may still have a chance if other parts of your application are strong.
It's also worth noting that applicant pools can vary from year to year, so it's essential to stay up to date with information from the school itself. I encourage you to visit Stanford's admissions website to get the most recent class profile and any additional information they might have. Good luck with your application!
