Keep in mind that 25% of enrolled students have scores below those listed, and Goucher College and St. John's College are test optional. Also, remember that ACT scores are just one part of the application. The admissions officers in Maryland will also want to see a strong academic record, a winning essay, meaningful extracurricular activities and good letters of recommendation.
