Hi, I'm really interested in applying to Michigan State. Can someone please tell me their current ACT requirements for admissions? Is there a certain range they typically consider for applicants? Thanks a lot!
Michigan State University (MSU) is currently test-optional for undergraduate applicants, which means submitting your ACT scores is not required. You can choose to submit your scores if you believe they add to your application and demonstrate your academic abilities, but it is not mandatory. The decision not to submit test scores will not negatively impact your application.
However, if you decide to submit your ACT scores and want to know the range they typically consider, keep in mind that while there is no strict cut-off, the middle 50% of admitted students at MSU typically score between 24 and 30 on the ACT.
A score within or above this range can be considered competitive, but please remember that MSU evaluates applicants using a holistic review process. This means that they consider other factors such as your high school GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, and essays in addition to test scores when making admission decisions.
