What's a minimum ACT score needed to get into Auburn?

Hey guys, really liking what Auburn has to offer and it's one of my top choices. Anyone know what sort of ACT score is typically needed to have a good shot at getting accepted?

Auburn University, located in Auburn, Alabama, is considered a "more selective" university. They don't publish a minimum ACT score, but it can be helpful to understand the typical range of scores of accepted students. The published middle 50% ACT score range of admitted students to Auburn is normally around 25-31. This means that 50% of the students Auburn admitted fall in that range. Typically, 25% of admitted students scored below a 25, and another 25% scored above a 31.

However, remember that standardized test scores aren't the only criteria for admission! Auburn will also take into account your GPA, your high school coursework, your extracurriculars, and your personal essays. Having a strong "package" of all these elements can help increase your chances of admission, even if your ACT score is on the lower end of the spectrum. This holds particularly true if you show outstanding leadership or achievement in your extracurricular activities, which could potentially catch the attention of the admissions committee.

Lastly, Auburn is not a test-blind school, which means it takes into account standardized test scores. If you're falling short in your ACT score, you can consider re-taking the exam after some targeted studying to improve on your weaker areas or try taking the SAT to see if you fare better on that test. Good luck!
