Hi guys, I'm really interested in applying to the University of Cincinnati next year and I was just wondering if any of y'all know what ACT score they typically look for. Thanks in advance for any info you can give me!
Hello! The University of Cincinnati (UC) is a moderately selective institution and looks at a range of factors during the admissions process, including ACT scores. For the admitted students of the most recent class, the middle 50% ACT scores ranged from 24 to 29. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below a 24 and 25% scored above a 29.
Keep in mind that UC has a holistic admissions process, so your ACT score isn't the only factor they consider when evaluating your application. They will also look at your high school GPA, rigor of your coursework, extracurricular activities, and any other unique factors. A strong application overall could help balance a slightly lower ACT score.
It's essential to research the specific program or major you're interested in at UC, as some majors may have higher or lower average ACT scores than the university itself. Additionally, remember that these numbers are only averages, and there's always a range of accepted scores among students.
Lastly, I want to remind you that standardized test requirements may change due to ongoing developments, so make sure to check UC's website for the most current information about their ACT requirements.
Good luck with your application!
