The Big South Conference includes a diverse group of schools -- public universities, private religious universities, a liberal arts college and a senior military academy. The side-by-side comparison chart below shows ACT 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 10 Big South Conference universities. Keep in mind that 25% of enrolled students have ACT scores below those listed.

Also remember that ACT scores are just one part of the application. The admissions officers at most of these Division I universities will also want to see a strong academic record, a winning essay, meaningful extracurricular activities and good letters of recommendation.
