Hello, friends! I'm really interested in Belmont University, and I wanted to find out what their ACT score requirements are. Does anyone know what the average or recommended ACT scores are for applicants to be considered competitive? Thanks so much!
Hello! Belmont University is indeed an excellent institution, and it's great that you're considering it. While Belmont doesn't have a strict ACT score requirement, it does provide information on the middle 50% of accepted students' ACT scores to give you an idea of where you might want to aim.
For the most recent admissions cycle, Belmont University’s middle 50% ACT score range was 24-29. This means that 50% of enrolled students scored between a 24 and 29 on the ACT, while 25% scored below a 24, and the other 25% scored above a 29. To be competitive, you'll want to aim for a score within this range or, ideally, above it.
However, keep in mind that the admissions process at Belmont, like many schools, is holistic. While your test scores are certainly important, other factors like your GPA, extracurricular activities, essays, and recommendation letters will also play a significant role in your application evaluation. So even if your ACT score is slightly below the middle 50% range, strong performance in other areas of your application can still make you a competitive candidate.
Good luck with your application to Belmont University!
