If you’re wondering which Ivy League schools accept ACT scores, you’re in luck!

All Ivy League schools accept both ACT and SAT scores. In fact, a third of the applicants to Brown University and the University of Pennsylvania submit ACT scores with their applications.

Average ACT scores for Ivy League schools are much higher than the national average score, 21.1. When you’re interpreting your ACT scores, remember that a perfect score on the ACT is a 36 and is equivalent to a 1600 on the SAT (not including the writing section).

Ivy League Universities	Average ACT Score (Middle 50%)
Brown University	28-33
Cornell University	28-32
Columbia University	28-33
Dartmouth College	28-34
Harvard University	31-35
Princeton University	30-34
University of Pennsylvania	29-33
Yale University	29-34

ACT vs. SAT in the Ivy League: Does It Matter?

In the past, some colleges accepted only the ACT in addition to your other application materials, and required your SAT scores as your primary test. But since 2007, all four-year universities accept the ACT for admissions purposes, and the schools in the Ivy League were some of the first to make the switch.

Save yourself the stress of worrying which test an Ivy League university prefers. Just find out which one matches your learning style by taking a few practice questions from both the ACT and SAT. The ACT focuses more on acquired knowledge rather than innate ability, and its questions may seem more straightforward than those on the SAT. So show off your strengths, especially when applying to Ivy League schools!
