Here they are – the best of the best ACT scores: ACT scores for the Ivy Leagues. Remember that on each section of the ACT, you can earn between a 1 and 36, although the national averages are right around a 20 – 21 for each section.
However, as you'll see below, if you're attempting to get into one of the Ivy Leagues, then your ACT scores better be much higher than that!
Although college admissions counselors look at other things like your GPA, extracurricular activities, personal statement, recommendations, and even clubs to determine your acceptance, your ACT scores are one of the factors they use. So why not make them good?
