Common questions

What colleges in Missouri accept a 20 ACT score?

26 four-year colleges in Missouri are within reach of a 20 ACT score, 21 of which admit a 20 squarely within their published 25th to 75th percentile range. The lowest average net price among them is $6,100 a year at College of the Ozarks. Figures come from U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard data.

Is a 20 a good ACT score for Missouri colleges?

A 20 places a student inside the admitted range at 21 four-year colleges in Missouri. 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.
