Which college am i going to if i score 18 on ACT test?

Question

is 18 good enough

Answer 1

Most community colleges have an "open door" policy.  They accept everyone.

Answer 2

this really cant be answered without knowing which schools youre applying to, what your gpa in high school was and what your extra-curriculars are. for example, someone with a 29 act score, a 3.9 gpa and zero extra-curriculars may be beat out by some with a 21 act score, a 3.4 gpa and tons of after school commitments/ volunteer work (btw, start volunteering asap. colleges love that!). that said, 18 is on the low side (the national average is 21), and some colleges require a certain score to even consider the applicant. research the schools your are interested in, find out if they have a minimum act score requirement, and if you cant find it on their page, email admissions. if your gpa is lower than, say, a 3.0, you may be looking at community colleges, but dont worry; if you excel in your first year at community college, you can always try to transfer to a more prestigous 4 year school. good luck!

Answer 3

It depends on the college.  Look for ACT ranges at various small, liberal arts schools like Monmouth College in Monmouth, IL.

Answer 4

Depends on the college, if i were you though i might want to retake for a better score or start out at a community college, cause that is a very low score.

Answer 5

that is a little below average avg is 20, so i would retake it

Answer 6

I got a twenty and cried because if you want scholarships you have to get a 21. Plus it didn't help that all of my friends got between 25-30. I would take it again but you should also consider taking the SAT too. I scored in the 10th percentile on that and colleges were able to see that maybe I just had a bad test day when I took the ACT

Answer 7

I would try again. Colleges will accept your highest score. Try looking at ACT study groups at school or the library.
