ACT Scores for Admission to Four-Year Rhode Island Colleges

Rhode Island is a small state, but it has some excellent colleges and universities. To see how you measure up to students who have enrolled at some of the state's four-year colleges, the table below can help. Admissions standards vary widely from one of the Ivy League Schools to a school with open admissions. The side-by-side comparison chart below shows ACT scores for the middle 50% of matriculated students. If your scores fall within or above these ranges, you're on target for admission. If your scores are a little below the bottom number, Keep in mind that 25% of enrolled students have scores below those listed.

Also remember that ACT scores are just one part of the application. The admissions officers at Rhode Island's more selective colleges will want to see a strong academic record, a winning essay, meaningful extracurricular activities and good letters of recommendation. Factors such as legacy status and demonstrated interest can also make a difference.

Note that the SAT is much more popular in Rhode Island than the ACT, even though both exams are accepted at nearly all colleges in the country. Because of the low number of ACT scores reported in Rhode Island, however, some colleges do not provide ACT data. To get a sense of how your ACT scores measure up to SAT scores, use this SAT-ACT conversion table.
