Hey! I recently took the ACT and scored a 30. To put this score in perspective, does anyone know what percentile this might land me in? Just trying to gauge how I'm doing compared to other students. Thanks in advance!
Hey there! A 30 on the ACT is an excellent score and should put you in a strong position for college applications. To provide some perspective, a score of 30 generally falls around the 90th to 95th percentile, meaning you scored better than approximately 90 to 95 percent of other test-takers. This is certainly something to be proud of!
Keep in mind that while test scores are an important part of college applications, they're just one piece of the puzzle. Admissions committees also consider factors such as GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation. Make sure to dedicate time and effort to all aspects of your application to maximize your chances of acceptance.
Nonetheless, great job on your ACT score, and best of luck with your college applications!
