ACT Scores for Admission to Wisconsin Colleges and Universities

The ACT is much more popular than the SAT in Wisconsin. In the table below, you'll find a side-by-side comparison of ACT scores for matriculated students at a wide range of Wisconsin colleges and universities. The table shows the middle 50% of scores, so if your scores fall within or above these ranges, you're on target for admission. 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 in Wisconsin, especially at the top Wisconsin colleges will also want to see a strong academic record, a winning essay, meaningful extracurricular activities and good letters of recommendation.
