<p>Only the top 1% get a 34-36; but 90% of here people claim thats what they are going to get. I will actually be honest and guess I will score about a 25.</p>
<p>Since I am here Can anyone guess my chance of getting into Michigan state with </p>
<p>25 ACT
probably a 3.65 GPA
top 20%
Played Ice hockey every year since I was 4
In state</p>
<p>the reason for the such high percentiles is because some states force students to take it. Which the majority of students do really poorly. So the group of students that take the ACT is shall how i say this... not as talented... than the group of SAT test takers</p>
<p>Thus percentiles for the ACT are not equivalent to the SAT</p>

<p>You don't seem to understand something--90% of CC is made up of the top 5% of students. On this site, 2300+ on the SAT and 34+ on the ACT are rampant. In the chances forum, 4.0s are everywhere. In the ivies and top universities forum, dozens of CCers post acceptances. The kids on CC are smart, it's as simple as that.</p>
<p>perhaps there is a mass conspiracy...</p>
<p>Ok, but I am more concerened with getting into MSU.</p>
<p>actually 99th percentile is 32 and above. and as said above, the reason that they are so common here is that most of the people who tend to venture on to CC are a self-selective group.</p>
<p>nobody is ever going to know who you are on this so does it really matter?</p>
<p>How good a hockey player are you?</p>
<p>wayne-gretzky level?</p>
<p>Im not that great. I just play house. Not Juniors or anything. Are school doesnt have a high school team.</p>
<p>dude, you will get in. Easily.</p>
<p>I know kids that got into UofM with your stats.</p>
<p>I agree with Badkarma. If you can up the ACT score a few points, you'll have a respectable shot at UMich.</p>
<p>Best of luck :)</p>
<p>No one seemed to read your question ccrrectly! You are asking about your chances at MSU, not UMich, right?</p>
<p>I think you have an excellent chance at MSU!! Good luck!</p>
<p>^thanks. BTW I dont want to go to UofM so I wont be applying.</p>
<p>backfire, only two states make all students take the ACT, and they haven't been doing it for very long. Average scores dropped a little when that started, but not much. The percentiles were like that before.</p>
<p>I think it has to do with the general population that takes the ACT compared to the SATs. If you think about it the people who take the ACT are the people in the deep south and in the midwest, where school isnt as important in the local cultures; however the SATs are taken mainly in the northeast and the west.</p>
<p>The PR prep book I used said that even though the SAT is more popular, about the same amount of kids take each test each year.</p>
<p>The book is a few years old, though.</p>

<p>*** You have no clue what you are talking about... I live in Illinois does this mean I don't care about school??? Demographics has nothing to do with whether or not students care about school, there are those that do and don't everywhere.</p>
<p>Minnesota has some of the best high schools and has one of the top educational programs in the nation. ttlyswt, please don't make uneducated bias assumptions. ( I do agree with you on the deep south, especially the Carolinas)</p>
<p>ttlyswt: You know nothing, stop acting like an elitist.</p>
