ACT Scores for Admission to Four-Year West Virginia Colleges

Students hoping to attend college in West Virginia will find a wide range of options. The state's four-year colleges vary significantly in size, personality, and mission. Selectivity also differs significantly although none of the schools has a painfully high admissions bar.

The table above can help you figure out if your ACT scores are on target for admission to your top choice West Virginia colleges. The table shows ACT scores for the middle 50% of matriculated students. If your scores fall within or above these numbers, you're in a strong position for admission. If your scores are a little below the bottom number, realize that a quarter of enrolled students have scores below those listed.

Be sure to keep the ACT in perspective -- it just one part of your college application. A strong academic record with challenging courses in core subjects will almost always carry more weight than standardized test scores. Also, some of the schools will look at non-numerical information and want to see a winning essay, meaningful extracurricular activities and good letters of recommendation.

Note that the ACT is more popular than the SAT in West Virginia, but all the schools will accept either exam.
