Hello fellow applicants! I'm planning on applying to ASU and was wondering what ACT scores they're looking for. Does anyone know the average ACT score or the range that is typically considered competitive for admission? Any help would be appreciated!
Hello! Arizona State University (ASU) has a fairly wide range of accepted ACT scores due to its inclusive admission policy. Although they do not have a strict cutoff, looking at the middle 50% range for admitted students can provide a good idea of what they generally expect. For ASU, the middle 50% range for ACT scores is between 22 and 29. This means that 25% of accepted students score below a 22, and another 25% score above a 29.
Keep in mind that ASU considers multiple factors in their admission process, such as your GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, and essays. So, even if your ACT score is a bit below the middle 50% range, you can still have a competitive application if other aspects are strong. On the other hand, if your score falls within or above the 22-28 range, it's more likely that your ACT score will be considered competitive for admission to ASU.
Good luck with your application!
