University of Chicago ACT Scores

Yo, I've been looking into UChicago, but I'm not sure if I can make the cut. Does anyone know what ACT scores they usually take? Is there a range that's generally considered safe?

Hi there! The University of Chicago, which is a highly selective school, typically admits students who have stellar academic records, which include high ACT scores. However, for the 2024-2025 application cycle, UChicago has a test-optional policy, which means you can apply without submitting an ACT score.

If you do decide to submit your ACT score, keep in mind that the middle 50% of admitted students usually score between 34 and 35. This doesn't mean that you can't get in with a lower score, but a score within or above this range would certainly be more competitive.

Remember, test scores are just one piece of your application, and UChicago, like all selective colleges, conducts a comprehensive review of every application - considering essays, letters of recommendation, extracurricular activities, as well as academic performance. Best of luck with your application to UChicago!
