Another Alabama hopeful here! I'm wondering what kinda ACT scores you need for a good shot at University of Alabama? I'm a bit stressed about the admission process, so any advice or info on this would really help me out!
The University of Alabama is a moderately competitive school and typically looks for candidates with an ACT score between 23 to 31. This being said, it's crucial to remember that these range figures are a mere approximation and don't guarantee admission.
While having scores within - or better, above - this range does improve your odds significantly, it's equally important to shine in other areas of your application. Universities always evaluate applications from a holistic perspective. Your grades in challenging coursework, extracurricular activities or work experience, leadership positions, and application essays, all contribute to the overall impression you create.
If your current score falls below the range, consider retaking the ACT to boost your application. Remember, though, that pursuing activities that you're passionate about or writing strong, personal essays may be just as impactful to your application as a high standardized test score.
And of course, don't forget to regularly review University of Alabama's official admissions criteria for any updates or changes - these scores can fluctuate from year to year.
