Midwestern Colleges for a 19 on the ACT

What Midwestern colleges accept a 19 ACT score?

This list features popular colleges where your application will likely be competitive, given their historical acceptance of students with a 19 ACT score. However, it's crucial to remember that a good ACT score is not the sole criterion for admission. In fact, may colleges are now test optional.

Is a 19 ACT bad?

A score of 19 is a little worse than average. It situates you in the bottom 44th percentile on the national scale, underperforming the majority of the 2 million ACT test takers. This score signifies your slightly below average performance in answering questions in the English, Math, Reading and Science sections of the exam. The ACT is scored out of a maximum of 36 and a minimum of 1, meaning your 19 score represents 53% of the total possible points. If a 19 does not meet the requirements of your preferred college, you might want to consider enrolling in a test prep course to potentially enhance your score.
