Hi, everyone. Wake Forest is on my college shortlist, and I've noticed it has selective admissions. Can anyone tell me the average ACT score for Wake Forest? It would help me determine if my ACT score is competitive.
Hello! Wake Forest University is one of the competitive universities with a rigorous admission process. It's a good idea to understand the test scores typically admitted at your target colleges.
Wake Forest became test-optional in 2008, and in 2020, they announced that they are staying test-optional permanently. This means you have the choice to submit your ACT scores, but they are not required.
However, for students who submit ACT scores, the 25th percentile score is around 28, and the 75th percentile score is typically around 33. This means that 25% of accepted students scored 28 or less, and at the other end of the spectrum, 25% of accepted students scored 33 or higher.
It's also worth remembering the importance of having a balanced application, which includes strong academic performance, impressive extracurricular activities, and well-crafted essays. This can put you in a strong position, even if you feel your test scores could be higher. Good luck with your application to Wake Forest!
