Hi guys! I'm looking into applying to Jacksonville State University, but I'm not sure what their ACT requirements are. What range of scores are they typically looking for? Any insights would be super helpful, thanks!
Jacksonville State University has a test-optional admissions policy, which means you are not required to submit your ACT scores as part of your application. Students who choose to submit their scores can do so to help improve their application, particularly if they have strong test scores relative to their GPA. However, if you feel your ACT score is not reflective of your academic potential, you're not required to submit it.
If you do decide to submit your ACT scores, Jacksonville State University does not have a hard cutoff, but the middle 50% of admitted students typically have scores between 16 and 23. Keep in mind that this is not a strict requirement, and students who fall outside of this range may still be admitted if they have a strong application in other areas, such as GPA, extracurriculars, and essays.
Ultimately, focus on presenting the strongest application you can, and consider whether submitting your ACT score will help or hurt your overall application profile. Good luck with your application to Jacksonville State University!
