I'm applying to Creighton University and I'm a little bit confused about their ACT requirements. Do they have a minimum score for admission? And should I still send my scores if they're test-optional? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Creighton University is currently test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle, which means submitting ACT or SAT scores is not required for admission. However, if you feel that your ACT scores are strong and will help complement your overall application, you can still choose to submit them.
There isn't a specific minimum score requirement for admission, but knowing the middle 50% range for admitted students can give you a general idea of the competitiveness. The middle 50% range for ACT scores at Creighton is 24-30.
If your ACT score falls within or above this range, it could potentially strengthen your application if you choose to submit it. In contrast, if your score is below this range, you may decide to withhold it and focus on other aspects of your application, such as your essays, extracurricular activities, and grades.
Ultimately, whether you submit your test scores depends on the strength of your ACT score relative to the middle 50% range and how confident you are in the other aspects of your application. It's important to submit an application that best represents your abilities and achievements, so consider what would make you stand out as a candidate.
