I'm really eager to get into Duke and I'm wondering about the ACT score range they traditionally accept. What's the average ACT score for admitted students?
The ACT score range for admitted students at Duke University generally falls between 34 and 36. This is the middle 50% range, meaning that half of Duke's admitted students had ACT scores within this range. That being said, 25% of admitted students had scores below 34, and 25% had scores above 36. Hence, while a high ACT is certainly an asset for your application to Duke, do remember that it's only one part of the overall application and other factors such as grades, coursework, extracurricular involvement, and essays will be also be key in Duke's holistic review process.
