So test scores have always been my weak area. With a strong-okay GPA, Classes, EC, Essays, where do you want to be on the middle 50 act range to be realistically admitted? Of course the higher the better, but what percent is a “safe” percentage? Sorry if this is a strange question, and thank you in advance!
Well, 50% of the people who have been admitted are in the middle 50%. It worked for them do why don’t you think it will work for you? I agree that there are some schools that are very selective and with holistic admissions so test scores don’t guarantee anything, but if you are in the middle 50% it sounds like you are just like a good portion of the people that are there.
Don’t feel bad. Elite university graduates only make up 6% of the population. That leaves 94% of the economy to the rest of us. What’s really important is the degree and your major.
