Hey guys, feeling a bit stressed about where I stand with applying for college. Anyone knows what the ACT requirements for University of South Florida are? I can't find clear data online.
Hello! I understand that finding accurate information regarding standardized testing requirements for specific colleges can be confusing sometimes.
As for the University of South Florida (USF), they have adopted a "test-optional" admissions policy. This means that submitting SAT or ACT scores is not required for admission. Therefore, there's technically no minimum ACT score required.
However, if you feel that your ACT or SAT scores accurately reflect your level of academic ability, you may choose to submit them. Prior to going test-optional, USF reported that the middle 50% range of ACT scores for admitted students was 25 to 30.
Keep in mind, though, that admissions to universities like USF are not only about test scores. Other aspects such as GPA, coursework rigor, extracurricular activities, and application essays also play significant roles in the decision process. So it's best to focus on all these components to strengthen your overall application. Best of luck with your process!
