Hi, I'm a junior interested in applying to Baylor University. Does anyone know what kind of ACT scores they're usually looking for in applicants? Thanks for the help!
Hey there! Baylor University is a great choice, and it's smart to consider your ACT scores when applying. Based on the most recent data, the middle 50% of students admitted to Baylor have ACT scores ranging from 25 to 31. This means that 25% of admitted students score below a 25, while another 25% score above a 31.
To be a competitive applicant, you should aim for a score within or above this range. Keep in mind that Baylor practices a holistic review process, so your ACT score is just one of many factors considered in admissions. Be sure to focus on your GPA, class rigor, extracurricular involvement, and personal essays as well.
That being said, if your ACT score falls below the middle 50% range, don't lose hope! It's still possible to get accepted with a lower score if other aspects of your application are strong. Just make sure to put your best foot forward, and best of luck with your application process!
