<p>How good is a 27 on the ACT?</p>
<p>Well okay then...</p>

<p>A 27 is an 89 percentile and between an 1860 and 1910 on the SAT scale.</p>
<p>Thanks for that. But is that considered a good score?</p>
<p>yes, it is better than 90% of the peopel who take the test, however if you are applying to a top 30 college i suggest retaking it...</p>
<p>in CC terms it's not a great score (nothing under 34/2300 is). for anything else though it's pretty good.</p>
<p>Try to get 30+, 32 if you can. A 32 will put you in the running for sure, for many colleges.</p>
<p>Thanks guys, I don't think I'm interested in a top 30 school. However, what about a top 50 or top 75?</p>
<p>What schools are you specifically looking at?</p>
<p>Penn St., Rutgers, Maryland, Delaware, Illinois, Wisconsin, SUNY Binghamton...</p>
<p>^ Also interested in Syracuse, Ohio State, Indiana, SUNY Buffalo</p>
<p>keep in my mind, i have around a 92,93 gpa with some honors classes</p>
<p>^ bump......</p>
<p>I don't know too much about the other places, but I know that 27 is good enough for OSU's "scholar's program" which is like a step below their honors (need a 29 for honors).</p>
<p>You also should get a small scholarship from OSU for a 27.</p>
<p>thank you, i appreciate the response.</p>
<p>Any other input is welcome.</p>
<p>I think a 27 is fine for those schools. However, the ACT seems to get easier with practice and the difference b/w a 29 and a 27 at one of those schools could be a nicer merit package. Somethin to think a/b.</p>
<p>^^ Yep, I definitely agree. If you could raise it just 2-3 points, you will get significantly more aid.</p>
<p>Appreciated guys.</p>
