Hi everyone, I'm a junior and I'm considering applying to the University of Connecticut. I was curious about what the average ACT score is for admitted students, and what score I should aim for to be competitive. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!
Hi there! The University of Connecticut (UConn) typically has an average ACT score range for admitted students between 28 and 33. This range represents the middle 50% of admitted students, which means that 25% of admitted students score below 28, and 25% score above 33. To be considered competitive, you should aim to score within or above this middle 50% range.
Keep in mind that UConn, like many other universities, practices holistic admissions. This means that while test scores are an important factor in the process, other factors such as your GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation will also be assessed when evaluating your application. A strong application will showcase excellence beyond just test scores.
It's always a good idea to research the admitted student profile for any school you're interested in applying to, as this can give you an idea of what the institution is looking for in its applicants. Best of luck with your application and ACT preparation!
