<p>I'm still waiting on ACT scores from June 10th. </p>
<p>I got a 2000 on my first SAT and was hoping that my ACT would turn out slightly better. </p>
<p>What do you think I need to score on the ACT to be in line for the elites (HYPS basically)</p>
<p>I've got a lot of other stuff, so I don't need super high test scores to carry me, but I'm definitely not hooked.... </p>
<p>What is the magic ACT number?</p>
<p>A score in the 30s.</p>
<p>err...i'd say 33 or over</p>
<p>I recall reading that the middle 50% percentile of ACT scores for most of the Ivys is somewhere in the range of 28-33 I believe. For a large part, acceptance depends on a lot of other things, such as ECs, high school GPA, etc.</p>
<p>Def890, a score past 33 is in the 30's.</p>
<p>That along with what mo24 said.</p>
<p>well for places like harvard and co. you really should have at least a 32 (a little over a 2100 on the SAT) if you dont have any hooks like being a legacy, URM, etc. If you have a hook then anywhere in the 30's is fine.</p>
<p>Thank you ttlyswt.</p>
<p>32+ I think is what HYPS...look at?</p>
<p>If you're at 31, it isn't awful?</p>
<p>No actually I saw someone post on here that they got into harvard via early action with a 31 with no significant hooks.</p>
<p>they muct have had somthing special</p>
<p>I'd say to get a 30 or higher.</p>
<p>i guess the consesus is 32 works good?</p>
<p>It'll probably give you a decent chance.</p>
<p>i would say the "consesus is 32 works" WELL</p>

<p>why aren't the scores back yet??</p>
