Hey there! I'm planning on applying to Michigan State University next year. Does anyone know what the average ACT score is for admitted students? And are there any minimum score requirements for the ACT? Any help would be appreciated!
Hello! Michigan State University (MSU) does not have a strict minimum ACT score requirement for admission, but it's best to aim for a competitive score to increase your chances of being admitted. For the admitted class of 2024, the middle 50% ACT scores for enrolled students were between 24 and 30. This means that 25% of students scored below 24, and 25% scored above 30. Aiming for a score within this range, or higher, can help make your application more competitive.
Michigan State University views applications holistically, considering factors such as high school GPA, course rigor, and extracurricular activities, in addition to ACT scores. Having a stronger GPA or exceptional extracurricular experiences can help balance a slightly lower ACT score. Remember, the ACT score is just one component of your application, and a strong overall application can still be successful even if your ACT score isn't at the higher end of the range.
Good luck, and I hope this information helps you as you prepare for your application to MSU!
