ACT composite 23
Answered

I got a composite score 23 and my English is a 30. You think that's good enough for a college English program?

A 23 composite is around average for many colleges, but your 30 in English is actually quite strong especially if you’re looking at programs focused on writing or literature. Many schools will notice that your English score is well above your other sections, which can work in your favor for an English program.

Some more competitive programs might prefer higher overall scores, but your English score shows you have solid aptitude for the subject. If your GPA and writing samples are good too, you’d likely be a strong candidate for many colleges’ English programs.

In my opinion, your English score of 30 looks really strong for a college English program. Even if your composite score of 23 isn’t the highest, the English result shows that you’re well-prepared and can handle the coursework. I think this should be enough for most colleges.
