Hi everyone, I'm a junior currently looking at potential reach schools and considering applying to Harvard. Does anyone know the average ACT score for students who get in? I know it'll be high, but I'm trying to set a realistic goal for myself. Thanks!
Hi there! It's always good to have a goal in mind when preparing for standardized tests. For Harvard, the middle 50% ACT score range for admitted students is typically around 34-36. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below a 34, 50% scored between 34-36, and another 25% scored a 36. Keep in mind that these scores are not strict cutoffs, and Harvard considers applications holistically. A strong overall profile can sometimes make up for a slightly lower ACT score. Good luck with your test preparation and college search!
