Hey guys, I'm starting to look into college options, and the University of Alabama caught my eye. I was wondering if anyone here could tell me what minimum ACT score is usually needed to get admitted to this school? Thanks!
Hello! The University of Alabama, like many schools, does not have an absolute minimum ACT score for admission. However, by knowing the ACT score range of admitted students, you can get a better understanding of what scores are competitive.
For the 2023 admitted freshman class, the middle 50% ACT score range for admitted students at the University of Alabama is as follows:
ACT (AL Resident): 22-29
ACT (Non-Resident): 26-33
The middle 50% range indicates that 50% of admitted students scored within the range, 25% of admitted students scored below the range, and 25% of students scored above it. Students with ACT scores in these given ranges generally have a solid chance of being admitted.
Keep in mind that the University of Alabama also considers other aspects of your application, such as high school GPA, coursework rigor, extracurriculars, and essays. So, while a score within the middle 50% range is a good indicator, it's not the only factor that determines admission.
That said, it's wise to aim for a score within this range or above to strengthen your application. Note that some students may still be admitted with scores below this range if other aspects of their application are particularly strong. Good luck with your college search!
