Hey folks, I'm aiming to possibly apply to Northwestern University - any idea what the average ACT score is for accepted students? Just trying to gauge my chance of getting in, thanks.
Northwestern University will remain test optional for the 2024-2025 admission cycle. They will not require ACT or SAT scores from first-year or transfer candidates applying for fall 2025 entry. If students choose to take an ACT or SAT, there is no preference for either exam - and will review a "super score for both tests.
Northwestern University places high importance on your GPA, course rigor, essays, extracurricular involvement, and letters of recommendation.
