I was just wondering what the average ACT score for ASU is? I'm starting to look at colleges, and I'm unsure if my ACT score is good enough for ASU or not. Thanks in advance!
The average ACT score for admitted students at Arizona State University (ASU) typically ranges from 22 to 29. This range represents the middle 50% of admitted students, which means that 25% of admitted students score below this range, 25% score above, and 30% fall within this range.
While your ACT score is an important factor in the admissions process, keep in mind that ASU also considers other aspects of your application, such as your GPA, extracurricular activities, and essays when making their decision.
It's also worth noting that ASU is officially test-optional, so submitting an ACT (or SAT) score is actually not required. However, you're smart to still be thinking about a target, as there can be instances where including a standardized test score with your application is a good idea.

Overall, if your ACT score falls within or near the range of 22-29, you're likely to be a competitive applicant at ASU, but make sure not to neglect the other areas of your application. And, if you're below this range, don't give up hope - just focus on showcasing your strengths in other areas! Good luck!
