Hey everyone, does anyone know what ACT scores Syracuse University typically looks for? I know every school is 'holistic' these days but just trying to get a sense of their expectations.
While Syracuse University does indeed take a holistic approach to admissions, understanding what they typically expect in terms of ACT scores can help you comprehend whether your scores are close to what they usually consider.
According to the most recent data, the middle 50% ACT composite score range for admitted students at Syracuse University is around 25 to 30. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 25, and 25% scored above 30.
Keep in mind, these numbers only serve as a general guide and other aspects of your application, such as your academic history, extracurriculars, and essays, can compensate if your ACT score is slightly below the average or even enhance your application if you're within or above the range.
Also, as an additional point, Syracuse University has adopted a test-optional policy for the 2024-2025 admissions cycle, so you're not obligated to submit ACT scores if you feel they don't accurately represent your academic capabilities.
