Hi guys! I'm really interested in applying to NYU, but I'm not sure if my ACT score is good enough. Does anyone know what score range they typically accept or prefer? Thanks!
Hi! It's great that you're considering NYU. To give you an idea of what ACT scores NYU typically accepts, it's important to look at their middle 50% score range. Generally, the middle 50% score range for NYU accepted students is between a 33 and 35 on the ACT. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below a 34, and 25% scored above a 35.
It's important to keep in mind, though, that being within or above this range doesn't guarantee admission, as NYU, like many other schools, uses a holistic approach to evaluating applications. This means they'll take into account other factors such as your GPA, course rigor, extracurricular involvement, essays, and recommendation letters as well.
If your ACT score falls within or above the middle 50% range, you're likely a competitive applicant in terms of standardized testing. However, if your score is below this range, don't lose hope! You can still demonstrate your strengths through other aspects of your application. Remember that every applicant's situation is unique, and you may be a strong fit for NYU even if your ACT score isn't exactly within their typical range.
Good luck with your application!
