How's it going, folks? I'm currently a junior in high school and thinking of applying to University of Virginia. I was wondering what UVA's average ACT score is for admitted students. Just trying to gauge where I stand, ya know?
The average ACT scores at the University of Virginia (UVA) can be determined by looking at the middle 50% range of admitted students' scores; this range is 32 to 35 for the admitted class. It means that 25% of students scored at or below a 32, while the top 25% scored at or above a 35. Ideally, you'll want to aim towards the higher end of this range to maximize your chances of admission, but scores within this range are typically competitive.
However, keep in mind that test scores are just one part of your application. UVA also weighs heavily on your high school performance, extracurricular activities, and essays.
Even though a strong ACT score can definitely help, remember that demonstrating a dedicated interest in a specific field or high-level achievement in your extracurriculars can also make your application stand out.
Still, a strong ACT score can go a long way towards confirming your academic readiness for college. Best of luck on your journey to college admissions!
