Hello! I'm very interested in applying to Florida State University, but I'm a bit worried about my ACT score. Can anyone provide info on the minimum or preferred ACT score requirements for admission? Thank you!
Hello! Florida State University (FSU) does not have a strict minimum ACT score requirement for admission. However, it's helpful to know the average scores for admitted students to get a better idea of your chances. For the Fall 2023 entering class, the middle 50% ACT composite score range for admitted students was 27-31. This statistic means that 25% of admitted students scored below a 27, 25% scored above a 31, and the remaining 50% fell within this range.
Keep in mind that admissions to FSU, like many universities, follow a holistic review process. While test scores are an important factor, your GPA, coursework, extracurricular activities, and essays also play significant roles in the admissions process.
If your ACT score falls below the middle 50% range, it's essential to make sure other elements of your application are strong to help compensate for a lower test score - focus on showcasing your accomplishments and unique qualities through your essays and extracurricular activities. And even if your ACT score is within or above this range, you don't want to neglect these other areas of your application. Make sure your application comprehensively reflects your strengths and achievements.
Good luck with your application!
