If you're wondering if you have the ACT scores you'll need to get into one of the Big 12 Conference universities, here's a side-by-side comparison of scores for the middle 50% of enrolled students. If your scores fall within or above these ranges, you're on target for admission to one of these universities.

Realize, of course, that ACT scores are just one part of the application. The Big 12 admissions officers will also be looking for a strong high school record, a well-crafted essay and meaningful extracurricular activities.
