What Eastern colleges accept a 25 ACT score?

If you've achieved a score of 25 on your ACTs, this places you squarely within the average range for accepted students at 143 Eastern colleges. This list features popular colleges where your application will likely be competitive, given their historical acceptance of students with a 25 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.

The creation of this list is rooted in a comprehensive analysis of ACT scores from students admitted to all Eastern colleges

Is a 25 ACT good?

Yes, a score of 25 is quite good. It situates you in the top 78th percentile on the national scale, outperforming the majority of the 2 million ACT test takers. This score signifies your well above 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 25 score represents 69% of the total possible points. If a 25 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.
