University of South Alabama ACT Requirements?

I've been doing some research on the University of South Alabama and was wondering if anyone knows their ACT requirements for admissions. If there's a minimum score or a specific range that I should be aiming for, please let me know. Much appreciated!

The University of South Alabama (USA) is test-optional for undergraduate admissions, which means that you are not required to submit your ACT or SAT scores as part of your application. However, if you feel that your ACT score reflects your academic abilities and will strengthen your application, you can choose to submit it. For more detailed guidance on how to navigate test-optional policies, check out this blog post from CollegeVine: https://blog.collegevine.com/does-test-optional-mean-test-optional/

If you do submit your ACT score, there is no minimum ACT score requirement, but it's helpful to consider the middle 50% range for admitted students, which usually falls between 20-27. To increase your chances of admission, you may want to aim for a score within or above that range. However, keep in mind that the admission process is holistic, and USA will evaluate other aspects of your application like your GPA, curriculum rigor, and extracurricular activities, in addition to test scores.

Ultimately, the decision to submit your ACT score depends on whether you believe it will enhance your application. If your score is within or above the middle 50% range and you feel it represents your academic achievements, you can submit it with confidence. If not, you can apply as a test-optional candidate and focus on showcasing your strengths through other areas of your application. Good luck!
