Hey, I'm a high school junior interested in Mizzou. Does anyone know the range of ACT scores they typically look for in applicants? Thanks in advance!
Hello! Mizzou, or the University of Missouri, does consider ACT scores in their admission process. However, for the 2024-2025 application cycle, they have a temporary test-optional policy in place due to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19. This means that you can choose not to submit your ACT scores, and it won't negatively affect your application.
If you decide to submit your ACT scores, Mizzou doesn't have a specific score requirement, but understanding the middle 50% score range can give you an idea of what scores have been competitive for previous applicants. For Mizzou, the middle 50% ACT score range is typically between 23 and 30. This means that 25% of admitted students have scores below 23, while another 25% have scores above 30.
Keep in mind that Mizzou's admission process takes into account other factors such as your academic performance, rigor of coursework, extracurricular involvement, and any other materials submitted. So, having an ACT score within or above the middle 50% range can be helpful, but it's not the sole factor in the evaluation process.
Good luck with your application!
