I'm considering applying to Emory University next year and I'm a bit worried about my ACT score. Does anyone have reliable info on what the average ACT score is for admitted students at Emory? Your help is appreciated!
Sure, happy to help! For Emory University, admitted students typically have ACT scores between a 32 and a 34. This means that a score of 32 is around the 25th percentile of admitted students, and a score of 34 is around the 75th percentile. On average, the middle 50% of admitted students score within this range.
However, keep in mind that colleges do not just consider your ACT score in the admissions process. Your score is one aspect of your application, among many others such as your GPA, extracurricular activities, recommendation letters, and essays. Although testing is an important part of your application to Emory, having a score below the range does not automatically disqualify you, just as having a score above the range does not guarantee acceptance.
Just to note, since you're considering applying next year, you should also aim to do well in your courses and participate meaningfully in extracurricular activities over the next few months. Best of luck in your application journey!
