Hello folks, I'm a bit tense about my ACT scores. Does anyone know the average ACT score of students admitted to the University of Wisconsin? Any info would be really helpful!
For the University of Wisconsin, the middle 50% ACT score range for admitted students for the 2023-2024 application cycle was 28-32. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 28, 50% of admitted students scored between 28 and 32, and 25% scored above 32. This doesn't mean you can't be admitted with a score below 28, but a higher score would make you a more competitive applicant.
However, keep in mind that your ACT score is only one aspect of your application. UW Madison looks at your high school record, the rigor of your courses, your involvement in extracurriculars, and your personal essays, among other factors. With a holistic review process, it means that even if your ACT score is lower, other strong parts of your application could still make you a strong candidate.
For the 2024-2025 application cycle, University of Wisconsin, Madison (UW Madison) is also still test-optional due to the impacts of COVID-19. Make sure to consider whether your ACT score is a strong representation of your abilities when deciding whether to submit it with your application.
