Hi guys! In the midst of my junior year, I've been looking at the University of Minnesota as a potential school. Does anyone know what ACT score would be considered competitive or average for UMN admissions?
For the University of Minnesota, the middle 50% range of ACT scores for admitted students in the past was around 27-32. This means that 50% of the admitted students scored within this range, while 25% scored below and 25% scored above. To be considered competitive, you'd likely want to aim for a score within or above this range, so an ACT score of 30 or higher would give you a good shot at admission.
However, keep in mind that test scores are just one component of the application, and UMN, like many universities, considers other factors such as your high school academic performance, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation. Having a strong score will certainly help, but also concentrate on maintaining a well-rounded application to increase your chances of being admitted. Good luck!
