💨 Abstract

A good ACT score depends on the specific colleges a student is targeting rather than a universal number. For top-tier universities, a score of 34 or higher is typically strong, while a 30 might suffice for less competitive institutions. In 2024, the national average ACT score was 19.4. Colleges consider an applicant’s entire profile, including GPA, essays, and recommendations.
