<p>I have a question, what is considered to be a "good" score on the ACT. Please do not respond if you are just going to say: "good" means different things for different people". I understand that, I would like this from the perspective of a kid looking into the top 75 or 50 colleges (LAC or University) in the country. If you could maybe put up a range of ACT scores and for what type of school they would be competitive for in the admissions process (maybe give some examples of schools in those ranges as well). For example:
26-28: (colleges)
29-31 ("")
32-34 ("")
35-36 ("")
ect.
Whatever ranges you think are appropriate (I know really nothing about the ACT and would like a feel for where my score stands, so make the cutoffs at what are considered to be good natural cutoff points, like on the SAT a 1400 is a cutoff point (for instance people are always saying that you need a 1400 atleast to be considered at ivies ect)). I realize that somebody could get into any school with any ACT score (within reason) and that there are many other factors in the admission process, but now is the time to make generilizations...thanks.</p>
<p>There is no cutoff point for the Ivy Leagues. Look up the ranges on <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com%5B/url%5D">www.collegeboard.com</a>. Search the college name and look under the 'SAT, AP, CLEP' tab for ACT composites. For instance, Harvard's ACT Composite 50% range is 31-34.</p>
<p>Good means competitive. It's a school-by-school basis.</p>
