Penn State Average ACT Score Requirement?

Hello there! I want to start planning for my ACTs and Penn State is one of my top choices. Can anyone tell me what their average ACT score is?

3 months ago

Penn State University doesn't officially publish an average ACT score for admitted students. However, the middle 50% range of composite ACT scores of previously admitted students at Penn State typically falls between 29 and 33. This means that 25% of admitted students had an ACT score below 29, while another 25% had an ACT score above 33.

This doesn't mean you can't get in with a lower score; it just signifies that students with scores in that range have been most successful in the past. Remember to focus just as much on your courses in school, GPA, and extracurricular activities too when preparing your application, as they're also very important in admissions decisions. Good luck with your ACT prep and college applications!
