Alright, folks, I need some FSU wisdom. I'm shooting to apply there for fall '25. I've heard some things about FSU's ACT score requirements. Does anyone have any insights? What kind of scores are they looking for?
Florida State University, or FSU, is somewhat competitive when it comes to ACT scores. Looking at the middle 50% range can give you a pretty good idea of what scores successful applicants typically have. The middle 50% range represents the ACT scores of half the students accepted to FSU - 25% had scores above this range and 25% had scores below.
According to CollegeVine data, for the class entering in Fall 2024, the FSU middle 50% ACT composite score range was between 30 - 33. This means that if you score within this range, you're within the ballpark of what FSU generally accepts.
However, remember that your ACT score is just one part of your application. Alongside competitive test scores, FSU also considers factors like your GPA, extracurricular involvement, letters of recommendation, and personal essays. As with all colleges, they are reviewing your entire application in search of students who will contribute to and thrive in their student body.
A word of advice, if your score falls below the middle 50% range, don't be too discouraged – it doesn't make your admission impossible, just a bit more difficult. It also doesn't mean you're guaranteed admission if your score is within or above the range, as the admissions committee looks at each application holistically. Good luck with your application!
