Hi everyone, I'm starting to prepare for the ACT and I'm striving to get into Penn State University. What's the average ACT score for students who get admitted? Need to set some goals for myself. Thanks!
The middle 50% ACT score range for enrolled students at Penn State University generally falls between 29 and 33. This means that 25% of students score below 29 and another 25% of students score above 33. Therefore, aiming for a score within this range would put you in a competitive position. However, note that Penn State reviews applications holistically so a strong ACT score alone doesn't guarantee admission. Other factors such as your GPA, high school curriculum, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation also play a significant role in the application review process. You should aim to balance your strengths across all of these areas. Best of luck with your ACT prep and application process!
