Hey guys, I recently received my ACT score and got a 28. I'm not sure how this ranks percentile-wise. Can anyone tell me if this is a decent score and what percentile it falls into?
Yes, a 28 ACT score is considered pretty good. A score of 28 places you in the 89th percentile, meaning you scored better than 89% of test-takers nationwide. While this score may not make you competitive for highly selective colleges, it should place you in a solid position for admission to many reputable universities. Keep in mind that your academic achievements, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation will also play a significant role in your college applications. So, even if your ACT score isn't the highest, you still have opportunities to showcase your talents and strengths through other components of your application.
