Hey everyone. So, I'm targeting UVA for my college application. Anyone knows what's their average ACT score? Gotta know what I'm aiming for here.
The University of Virginia (UVA) is a highly competitive school, and they typically look for strong standardized test scores in their applicants. For the ACT, the middle 50% range of admitted students typically falls between 33 and 35. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below a 33 and another 25% scored above a 35.
While standardized test scores are an important part of your application, it's worth noting that UVA, like many universities, practices a holistic review of applications, meaning they consider other factors such as your high school coursework, grades, extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, and essays, in addition to your test scores.
It's advised to aim for an ACT score in the middle 50% range or higher to be considered a competitive applicant. However, students with scores below the range are still encouraged to apply as UVA will review every part of your application. Good luck!
