Hi, guys. I'm really interested in Loyola University, Chicago. I'm taking the ACT soon and I was wondering what the typical ACT score range is for admitted students? Stressing out a bit here. Thanks for the help!
Hello there! I completely understand your stress as standardized testing can be quite nerve-wracking. At Loyola University Chicago, the 25th to 75th percentile ACT scores for admitted students generally fall between 27 and 32.
This simply means that 25% of enrolled students scored a 27 or below, while 25% scored a 32 or above. Remember, this range is just a guide, not a strict cut-off. A score below the range doesn't automatically disqualify your application, and a score above doesn't guarantee admission.
While these exams are necessary for the application process, they are not the be-all and end-all of your entire college application. Other factors like your extracurricular activities, leadership, essay, and letters of recommendation are just as crucial, if not more.
I would suggest that when preparing to take the ACT, try to aim for a score within the range, or try to surpass it. However, don’t put too much pressure on yourself and remember that it's not the only factor in your application. Good luck, you've got this!
