Hey there, hope everyone’s well. I'm planning on applying to Harvard. Does anyone know what the average ACT score is for admitted students? Thanks in advance.
Sure, I can help with that! For Harvard University, the middle 50% ACT score range is typically between 33 and 35. This means that 25% of accepted students scored below 33 and 25% scored above 35. Please note this doesn't mean you need to achieve these scores to be admitted, but they are representative of the competitive nature of Harvard’s admissions. That being said, test scores are only one component of the application. Harvard adopts a holistic review process, taking into account other aspects like academic performance, recommendations, extracurricular activities, essays, and so on. While aiming for a high ACT score contributes to a strong application, make sure to dedicate time and effort into other parts of your application as well.
