Hey guys, I'm looking into applying to Belmont University and wanted to know their ACT requirements. What is the average ACT score for admitted students? Is there a minimum score they prefer?
Belmont University has a test-optional policy, which means you are not required to submit an ACT (or SAT) score as part of your application. However, if you believe your ACT score will strengthen your application, you can still submit it.
For reference, the middle 50% of accepted students at Belmont University typically have ACT scores ranging from 24 to 29. While there is no minimum score explicitly stated by the university, it's a good idea to aim for a score within this range or higher to be a competitive applicant.
Keep in mind that Belmont University also considers other factors, such as your GPA, extracurricular activities, and essays, when evaluating your application. So, to maximize your odds of acceptance, make sure that these elements are also as strong as possible.
