Hi everyone, I'm looking into applying to Boston University and I'm trying to find out the average ACT scores for admitted students. Can anyone fill me in? Thanks in advance!
Sure! For the Boston University (BU) admitted class of 2025, the middle 50% ACT composite score range was 31-34. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below a 31, and 25% scored above a 34. While a score within this range doesn't guarantee admission, it gives you an idea of where your ACT score stands compared to other applicants.
Keep in mind that BU practices holistic admissions, so your ACT score is just one component of your application. BU is also test-optional through the 2024-2025 application cycle, so you have the option not to submit your test scores if you feel they don't accurately represent your academic abilities.
In addition to strong test scores, having a good GPA, taking rigorous courses, possessing solid extracurricular activities, and writing compelling essays are all crucial in presenting a competitive application. Good luck!
