<p>i am not sure about what is considered a good score on the acts
so i was wondering.. how do people view a 27?</p>
<p>imo:
a 27 is...
too low for ivies(31+ recommended)
ok for other teir one schools but not particularly good (ex: uofM, berkley, etc...)
above average for the rest of the schools...</p>
<p>its in the top 10% of the country. If that is not good what is. It all depends on what college your applying too.</p>
<p>It really does depend on what colleges you plan on applying to. Gumba's break down was pretty accurate though, but yeah, you should remember that the average ACT test score is a 21, so a 27 isn't looking too bad.</p>
<p>gumba has it right. a 27 is on the low end of being competitive if you look at standardized testing and weighting it more than you should. a 29 puts you at the 50% range for most top 20--not Ivies. it won't necessarily hurt you but won't rule you out.</p>
<p>should read: it won't necessarily hurt you and won't rule you out.</p>
