I'm interested in applying to UC Berkeley, but I'm not sure what ACT score range they typically accept. Can someone provide some insight about what scores I should aim for to be competitive for UC Berkeley? Thanks in advance!
UC Berkeley has adopted a test-blind policy for the 2024-2025 application cycle, which means they will not consider SAT or ACT scores at all for admissions evaluations. Therefore, you do not need to worry about your ACT score for your UC Berkeley application.
Instead, focus on creating a strong application by maintaining high academic performance, engaging deeply with your extracurricular activities, and showcasing your passion and unique perspective in the personal insight questions. UC Berkeley, like other UC schools, places a significant emphasis on your GPA, course rigor, and personal insight questions. Make sure your responses to these questions highlight your accomplishments, growth, and personal qualities.
Best of luck with your application to UC Berkeley!
