<p>33 will get your application read. Class rank? Estimate if you don’t know exactly. 3.8GPA in some places is fantastic, in others it’s 75th percentile.</p>
<p>I think it is quite a misleading to say that ND reads only applicants with ACT 33 or higher. The mid 50% admitted students are with ACT 32-34. ACT 33 is the median ACT score for EA applicants. Apparently, ND cannot accept applicants without reading their applications.</p>
<p>Some of you need to get out more (or maybe read more). “33 will get your application read” is obviously a figurative phrase, not a literal one. </p>
<p>An ACT score of 32 represents the 25th percentile — meaning 25 percent scored at or below 32. If you have a 32, you better have a hook or admission will be tough. Things are better for 33’s.</p>
