Okay, y'all. The stress is real. I've been looking into the University of Arkansas, trying to find out their ACT requirements, but I can't seem to find any definitive info. Anyone else feel my pain?
The University of Arkansas doesn't have a strict ACT cut-off score for admissions, but it can be helpful to refer to the middle 50% score range for admitted students to gauge the typical profile of successful applicants. Historically, meanwhile, the middle 50% ACT scores are around 21 to 29.
So, if you score within or above that range, your chances of admission can be reasonably considered to be strong, provided you also meet the other standards in terms of your GPA, extracurricular involvement, and essays. Remember, however, that the University of Arkansas practices a holistic review process. This means that they take all aspects of your application into account, not just your ACT score.
Also, keep in mind that many colleges, including the University of Arkansas, have opted to be test-optional due to the COVID pandemic, which means that you can choose not to submit an ACT or SAT score and it won't hurt your application. Be sure to check the latest policies on the University of Arkansas's admissions website for the most accurate information.
