<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I took the ACT last month and recieved a 33 - my dream score. UVA is by far my #1 school but OOS admissions are similar to that of Ivies. </p>

<p>What score do you believe is good enough for Ivies. I mean, at my school, only me and 4 other kids have a 33 and that is the highest score. Is a 33 a good enough score that when I apply it will not hurt me?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Let’s put it this way: I know someone who got a 31 ACT score and they were accepted at Columbia. They had a top GPA and decile, class co-Valedictorian, had a couple of EC’s they were passionate about and logged good hours/weeks at both, and wrote really great essays. No hooks, whatsoever.</p>

<p>Hopefully, this answered your question…</p>

<p>Assuming that is true, for an unhooked applicant applying to the Ivies, a score of 34 is a “good” (@ 75 percentile or higher) score; however, a score of 33 is fine as well. But, as you know, the higher the better.</p>

<p>Btw, ‘that’ should be ‘those’ :)</p>

<p>The average admitted ACT score to UVA from my private high school in Florida is 33.</p>
