Glad to hear that you’re so ambitious, Zipzap. You’ll find the CC community very helpful and generally quite friendly.

However, I’ve never heard of an Ivy League (or any school for that matter) requiring a certain ACT score to be admitted. Certainly, there are schools where there are unofficial, general cutoffs (for example, you won’t get into Yale with a 1000 three subject SAT score), but I don’t believe there are official cutoffs.

I think you’ll find this thread interesting. Especially note that post #17 was accepted with a 31 ACT.

Unfortunately, I’m not in much of a position to answer your original question since I’ve focused primarily on the SAT.
