Hey everyone! I'm thinking about applying to Barnard College. What are the average ACT scores for admitted students? Any insight would be really helpful!
Hello! For the 2024-2025 application cycle, Barnard College is test-optional, which means submitting your ACT scores is not required. However, if you choose to submit an ACT score, it's helpful to know the middle 50% range for admitted students to see how competitive your application might be.
In recent years, the middle 50% ACT score range for students admitted to Barnard was around 32-34. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below a 32, while 25% of admitted students scored above a 34. To be a competitive applicant, it's ideal to have an ACT score within or above this range. However, it's important to remember that test scores are just one component of your application, and Barnard College evaluates applicants holistically, considering factors such as your GPA, the rigor of your coursework, extracurricular activities, essays, letters of recommendation, and more. Good luck with your application!
