I'm planning to apply to DePaul University next year and I'd like to know the average ACT score of accepted students. Can anyone help me with that info? And do you think it's better to aim higher than the average to increase my chances of admission? Thanks in advance!
Certainly! As of the last available data, DePaul University's middle 50% ACT composite scores for admitted students ranged from 24 to 30. To be considered a competitive applicant, you should aim for a score within or above this range. Aiming higher than the average can indeed increase your chances of admission, as it shows that you are academically prepared for DePaul's curriculum.
It's important to note that DePaul University, like many other schools, has a holistic admissions process. While a strong ACT score can help, factors such as your high school GPA, extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, and personal statement also play significant roles in the decision-making process. Make sure to balance your focus on test preparation with maintaining a strong GPA and engaging in meaningful extracurricular endeavors.
Best of luck with your application to DePaul University!
