Hello guys! I'm seriously considering applying to Auburn University next year. Do any of you happen to know what the ACT requirements are for admission? I've tried looking on their website but couldn't find a clear answer. Thanks!
Auburn University, like many other universities, doesn't have an exact "requirement" for ACT scores. Instead, they provide a range of scores for the middle 50% of admitted students. For Auburn, the middle 50% of admitted students have an ACT composite score ranging from 25 to 31. Keep in mind, 25% of the students have scores above 31, and 25% have scores below 25. This range can give you a general idea of the competitiveness of your ACT score for Auburn's admissions process.
While your ACT score is important, the overall admissions process at Auburn is holistic, and they'll consider other factors such as your GPA, high school coursework, extracurricular involvement, and your personal statement. A higher ACT score can improve your chances, but it won't guarantee admission. Similarly, a slightly lower score doesn't necessarily mean you won't be admitted if you have a strong overall application.
If you want to know how your overall application stacks up at specific schools, including Auburn, you should consider using CollegeVine's free admissions calculator to estimate your odds of acceptance: https://www.collegevine.com/admissions-calculator.

If you haven't already, retaking the ACT to improve your score can be helpful, but also focus on strengthening other areas of your application. Good luck with your application to Auburn University!
