Hi everyone, I'm a junior and starting to think about college applications. I've been researching the University of Kansas (KU) and wondering what ACT score I should aim for to have a good chance of getting accepted? Any input is much appreciated!
KU's middle 50% ACT range for admitted students is typically between a 21 and 28. This means that 25% of admitted students score below 21, while another 25% score above 28. To give yourself a strong chance of admission, you should aim for at least a 28, which is on the higher end of that range and would place you among the more competitive applicants.
Keep in mind that KU also has a holistic admissions process, meaning they look at other factors in addition to ACT scores, such as GPA, class rigor, extracurricular activities, and essays. While having a strong ACT score can certainly improve your chances, it's also crucial to focus on these other aspects of your application to make yourself stand out as a well-rounded candidate.
Best of luck with your college applications!
