Hello everyone! I was just researching Boston University and I'm curious about the average ACT score for admitted students. It'd be great if someone could shed some light on this, so I know if I need to improve my score. Thanks a lot!
Hello! Boston University's admitted students typically have competitive ACT scores. According to their most recent data, about average composite ACT score is a 33. That being said, it's critical to keep in mind that test scores are just one factor in the admissions process, and Boston University has a holistic review process where they consider your whole application.
To evaluate if your score is within the competitive range, you can compare your ACT score to the average score of admitted students. However, remember that a well-rounded application, with strong extracurriculars, essays, and letters of recommendation, may help balance a lower test score.
Boston University is also currently test-optional, so you have the choice of whether or not to submit your test scores with your application. If you feel that your score is not reflective of your potential, you can consider applying without it and focusing on other aspects of your application to best showcase your abilities. Good luck!
