Hey everyone, I'm applying to Elon University this year! For those of you who got in, what ACT scores did you have and is Elon flexible with their range?
Hello! Elon University is generally flexible with their ACT range, but it's still important to have a competitive score if you want to increase your chances of admission. Based on the most recent admissions data, the middle 50% of admitted students at Elon have an ACT score range of 26-31. This means that 25% of accepted applicants score below 26, and another 25% score above 31.
Keep in mind that Elon, like many other universities, practices a holistic admissions review process. While a strong ACT score can help your application, the university will also consider other factors such as your high school grades, course rigor, extracurricular involvement, essays, and letters of recommendation. So, even if your ACT score is slightly below the middle 50% range, a strong overall application can still potentially earn you a spot at Elon.
I encourage you to continue working on all aspects of your application and consider retaking the ACT if you think you can improve your score. Best of luck with your applications!
