What Southeastern colleges accept a 33 ACT score?

If you've achieved a score of 33 on your ACTs, this places you squarely within the average range for accepted students at 17 Southeastern colleges. This list features popular colleges where your application will likely be competitive, given their historical acceptance of students with a 33 ACT score.

This score signifies your exceptional performance in answering questions in the English, Math, Reading and Science sections of the exam.
