Hello everyone, I'm planning on applying to Columbia University next fall and I'm curious, what's the average ACT score of students who get accepted? I would like to know where I stand in terms of my test score. Thanks in advance!
Hello! Columbia University is a highly competitive institution, and the average ACT score of admitted students is typically quite high. For the class of 2025, the middle 50% ACT score range for admitted students was between 34 and 35. This means that 25% of accepted students scored below a 34 and 25% scored above a 35, while the majority of admitted students fell within this range.
Keep in mind that while a strong ACT score is important, Columbia University also considers other factors in their admissions process, such as your GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, essays, and recommendation letters. It's essential to have a well-rounded application to increase your chances of getting into Columbia. Good luck with your application!
