<p>I have a kind of curious question that I've been wondering today... does anyone know roughly (or exactly) what percentage of students scoring a certain score on the ACTs (a 30 or higher, a 33 or higher.. etc) gained admission into an Ivy?</p>

<p>Go to each of their web pages and search “class of 2013 profile” you should find what you are looking for</p>
<p>^ Most schools don’t give breakdowns for the ACT. Brown is the only Ivy that comes to my mind.</p>
<p>Wow. I guess I didn’t realize the percentages were so low.</p>
<p>Dartmouth gives percentages for the act.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not that I can find. Can you link to it?</p>
<p>The percentages for the ACT are going to be misleading. As you may know, the ACT is the predominate test in the central part of the country. Students from that part of the country apply to Ivy League schools in much smaller numbers than students from the coasts. Those that do apply tend to be very strong candidates who are applying to schools for pretty specific reasons. (In the upper midwest, only 7-10% of students attend out of state schools at all.) Therefore, you have many fewer students applying with ACT scores and it is harder to make judgements. I think this is why coast schools don’t always publish ACT data.</p>
<p>As the ACT becomes more common in other parts of the country, I think this will change and you will see more and more schools posting ACT data.</p>
<p>Ok, I understand. So there’s not even data from a third party that shows what I’m looking for? I googled it and I couldn’t find anything but then again I wasn’t really sure what to google in the first place.</p>

<p>…corect but you can get 25th and 75th percentile scores…at least for Conell you can.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, but the OP was asking about acceptance percentages. Percentile ranges can be very misleading for top schools.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, the information would come directly from the schools.</p>
<p>shennie,</p>
<p>The Brown ACT figures don’t suggest any significant disproportionate self-selection among ACTers.</p>
<p>Some students take both the ACT and the SAT, so there is going to be some amount confusion.</p>
<p>shennie:</p>
<p>The ACT is growing rapidly, and now is almost as popular as the SAT; those in the know take both tests since colleges don’t care and only want high scores. The difference in test takers is only 100k out of ~1.3MM.</p>
<p>Lily: few colleges publish admissions % by test score ranges (unfortunately). Another selective that does is Amherst.</p>
<p>oops. I meant that Dartmouth gives you percentile ranges.</p>
<p>Ok, I see. Thanks!</p>
