Hi everyone! I'm seriously considering TCU and I wanted to know what kind of ACT scores are expected for admission. If anyone has any info on this, please let me know!
Hello! Texas Christian University (TCU) is a moderately selective school, and while they take a holistic approach to reviewing applications, test scores still play a role in the admissions process. To be a competitive candidate at TCU, you might want to aim for an ACT score in the middle 50% range of admitted students, which is typically between 26 and 31.
However, keep in mind that these numbers are not strict cutoffs. Students with scores below or above this range could still be admitted based on other factors, such as your high school transcript, letters of recommendation, extracurricular activities, and essays. Additionally, TCU is currently test-optional due to the pandemic, so you may choose not to submit an ACT score if you believe your application is strong even without it.
Best of luck with your application to TCU!
