Common questions
What colleges in Pennsylvania accept a 24 ACT score?
42 four-year colleges in Pennsylvania are within reach of a 24 ACT score, 25 of which admit a 24 squarely within their published 25th to 75th percentile range. The lowest average net price among them is $15,350 a year at University of Pittsburgh-Bradford. Figures come from U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard data.
Is a 24 a good ACT score for Pennsylvania colleges?
A 24 places a student inside the admitted range at 25 four-year colleges in Pennsylvania. 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.
