What ACT score should I have?

Question

My favorite schools are Columbia, Cornell, Penn - respectively - , what ACT score should I have? All of my extra curricular and academic areas are strong, so that's not the worry... what do you think?

Answer 1

Well, it matters what area you want to major in....but at least a 30, if not more. If you score at least 28, you can get full tuition, books, rooming, and even a little extra spending money!

So shoot for the highest score possible.

Answer 2

at the minimum a 30, 32 and up would be better, but you never know, it really depends more on your essays and other activities, i know a kid who had a 36 on their SATs and got rejected from some ivy league schools. but good luck!
