Does anyone know the average ACT score for admitted students at Spelman College? I'm trying to gauge my chances of getting in and I'd like to know what score range I should aim for. Any help would be appreciated!
Spelman College is a test-optional institution for the 2024-2025 application cycle. This means that you're not required to submit an ACT or SAT score to be considered for admission. However, if you'd like to submit your test scores as part of your application, it's important to understand the average scores of admitted students.
For reference, the middle 50% ACT range of admitted students at Spelman College before they went test-optional was approximately 21-27. This means that 50% of the admitted students scored within that range, while 25% scored below a 21 and the other 25% scored above a 27.
Keep in mind that these numbers are just a starting point and test scores are only one aspect of your application. Spelman takes a holistic approach when evaluating candidates, looking at factors like your GPA, coursework, extracurricular activities, essays, and recommendation letters. So, while achieving a score within or above the 21-27 range might increase your chances, it's important to focus on building a strong overall application.
Good luck with your application process!
