Hello peeps! Been thinking a lot about my future lately. I've been interested in USF, but I'm not sure about the ACT score I should aim for. Does anybody know what the average ACT scores look like for admitted USF students? Thanks!
Sure thing! The University of South Florida (USF) is somewhat competitive when it comes to ACT scores. While exact averages can vary year by year, recent data shows that the middle 50% of accepted students at USF typically have ACT scores between 27 and 30. This means that 25% of admitted students score below 27, and another 25% of admitted students score above 30.
Please be aware that these numbers are averages and guidelines; they are not set in stone. Students with a lower score can still be admitted, especially if they have other strong components in their application such as a high GPA, excellent extracurricular involvement, and compelling essays. Similarly, a high ACT score does not guarantee admission. Always shoot for the highest score possible, and remember that the whole application counts when decisions are made!
