Ideal ACT Score

<p>Given that I will probably graduate high school with an unweighted GPA of about 3.65 - 3.70 — and my school does not rank — what should be an ideal ACT score for Northwestern? I am thinking anywhere upwards of 32 (since 30-34 is their mid-50% range, and I should be a little higher than the minimum to compensate for that GPA)? Thanks.</p>

<p>I don’t think there’s any ideal score…because you have to weigh in your ecs, essays, etc. Knowing a specific ACT score won’t help you either. I’m assuming you’re planning on taking the ACT soon, so just take practice tests from a book, relax, and try your best. Going into the test day with a 35 on your mind or a 32 on your mind will not make a difference at all.</p>
