Hey guys, just started thinking about college and Yale caught my attention. But wondering if my ACT score would make the cut. Does anyone know the average ACT score for students admitted to Yale?
The average ACT score for students admitted to Yale University typically falls within the 33-35 range. Bear in mind, this is the average and some admitted students may have lower scores while others have perfect ones. However, as of the 2024-2025 application cycle, Yale has renewed its policy to require standardized test scores, like the ACT, as part of the admissions process. Doing well on your ACT can bolster your application, but it is not the sole defining factor for admissions. Yale, like many selective schools, adopts a comprehensive review process, considering your grades, rigor of coursework, extracurricular activities, recommendation letters, and essays alongside your test scores.
