re: What is a "good" ACT score?

Got a 21 in 7th grade. Never opened the math section.
Junior year I left a graduation party at 6:45 in the morning, drunk, with no calculator and had to borrow a pencil. Got a 26 and never took it again.
Always wondered what I would have gotten sober and prepared.
Never took a prep class either.

I got a 26.
FTR, LSU's bottom 25% have a composite score of 23, and upper 25% have a composite score of 28.

The average ACT score for UT is a 28. LINK . The only way they would laugh at your score is if you applied to their Business Honors program, where the average admitted ACT is a 34, and even then you'd still get into their regular Business program w/ a solid GPA.
As a HS senior, I think 33+ when I think of an amazing ACT score. 30-32 is good. 27-30 is passable. You usually have to have a 32+ to get into top 20 schools i.e. Notre Dame, Duke, Ivies, MIT, Stanford.

then that's why 
I had a 3.8 with a 31 and got in just about every school I applied to except notre dame.
well except Harvard too, but that was more of a pipe dream than ND

texas has weird rules regarding getting accepted into schools like UT and A&M. if you are in the top 10% of your class, you are automatically accepted, regardless of your school's academic rep. this keeps a lot of well deserving students out of those two schools.

I didn't apply to either of them

I know two guys that got perfect scores on the PSAT, SAT and ACT.

i did but im old and had a degree so i was accepted based on my looks and charm.
but yea they have some stupid rules about taking the top 10% of students. could be the shittiest school in the county but youre getting in.
arent you going back to school?

UT and A&M's admissions systems, especially A&M's, are way too overplayed. UT might keep a few kids out who would deserve to be in, but if you get a 30+ on the ACT you're virtually guaranteed to get in. I understand the complaints about UT, but A&M accepts students in the top 25% of their class with a 1300 on the Critical Reading and Math sections of their SAT. If a student doesn't have that I'd hardly call them deserving of a school like A&M.

yea, going the CC route to try and transfer somewhere later. this CC close by is really legit

a guy I knew from Byrd made a 36, I knew a few people who made 34-35's.

Don't listen to this guy, he didn't go to college

Most of the people here will say. 30 plus is a good score. 23 and up is above average in this part of the country.

this thread isn't about college.
