Common questions

What colleges in Colorado accept a 30 ACT score?

12 four-year colleges in Colorado are within reach of a 30 ACT score, 5 of which admit a 30 squarely within their published 25th to 75th percentile range. The lowest average net price among them is $10,051 a year at Colorado State University Pueblo. Figures come from U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard data.

Is a 30 a good ACT score for Colorado colleges?

A 30 places a student inside the admitted range at 5 four-year colleges in Colorado. Whether it is a good score depends on the target school: a score above a school's 75th percentile is typically where merit scholarship consideration begins, and crossing that threshold can reduce what a family pays by thousands of dollars a year.
