Common questions

What colleges in Minnesota accept a 23 ACT score?

23 four-year colleges in Minnesota are within reach of a 23 ACT score, 19 of which admit a 23 squarely within their published 25th to 75th percentile range. The lowest average net price among them is $8,837 a year at University of Minnesota-Morris. Figures come from U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard data.

Is a 23 a good ACT score for Minnesota colleges?

A 23 places a student inside the admitted range at 19 four-year colleges in Minnesota. 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.
