<p>So I've heard anything above 30 is great, but where exactly can the scores place you? What would be a rough estimate for Ivy League etc?</p>

<p>30 = ?
31 = ?
32 = ?
33 = ?
34 = ?
35 = ?
36 = ?</p>

<p>Um.... For ivy league, middle 50% is like between 31 and 32 if u take out the athletes.</p>

3

<p>33 is 50th percentile for MIT and Harvard, which is as competitive as it gets. 34+ and you're good.</p>

4

<p>36: Anywhere
35: Anywhere
34: Harvard
33: Other Upper Ivies
32: Lower Ivies
31: Great Schools
30: Great Schools</p>

<p>I'm not quite certain that an ACT score plays that major of a role in admissions when you are competing on that level. It is merely taken for granted, while other aspects are under more extensive scrutiny.</p>

6

<p>Nothing is certain.</p>

<p>i dont give a damn if you got a 41 ACT If you got a all F's and One D, Your going to need more luck than James Bond to get into ANY respectable school.</p>

7

<p>what exactly are the upper ivies and lower ivies?</p>

8

<p>Upper HYPS, Penn</p>

<p>Lower- Columbia, Dartmouth, Cornell, Brown</p>

<p>^ I dont think that they should be grouped like that. Ivies are generally exactly the same in stats. plus, tht was a very bad generalization. at ivies, ACT is just a check mark. It's basically a "do you get a score over 30" thing. My brother works in admissions at brown (supposedly a lower ivy? idk how u came to that assumption unless you went top the completely flawed rankings of newsweek) and he told me tht. so, idk. i think ur rankings of act to college is completely off.</p>

<p>I'm hoping a 34 will get me into either U Utah with a full ride or Southwestern!!!!</p>

<ol>
<li>Stanford isn't Ivy</li>
<li>Upper Ivies are generally considered HYP alone</li>
</ol>

<p>i think a 31+ has a good shot at any ivy depending on what else you have</p>

13

<p>There are plenty of schools that are just as good or better than ivy league schools that are not in the ivy league. Therefore, it is inappropriate to just be talking about how to get into ivy league schools.</p>

14

<p>so 31-35 is roughly the range of MIT/Harvard, so within that range you're good</p>
