I'm a junior and have been researching Baylor University, but I'm not quite sure what the ACT score requirements are. Could someone please help me understand what a competitive ACT score for Baylor looks like? Thanks in advance!
Sure, I'd be happy to help clarify Baylor University's ACT requirements for you! For the 2024-2025 application cycle, Baylor University is test-optional, which means you don't have to submit an ACT or SAT score as a part of your application. However, if you do decide to submit a score, it can enhance your application if it falls within the competitive range.
To give you an idea of what a competitive ACT score looks like for Baylor, in the 2022 admitted freshman class, the average ACT score was 28.6. To be a competitive applicant, you should aim to have an ACT score around this average.
Of course, keep in mind that Baylor also considers other factors in their admissions process, such as GPA, course rigor, extracurriculars, essays, and recommendation letters. Your ACT score is just one piece of the puzzle, so if you choose to submit it, make sure to also focus on the other aspects of your application.
Best of luck in your application process!
