Colleges for a 23 ACT score
Where a 23 ACT places you at colleges that publish their admitted-student ranges, split into safety, target and reach.
Your ACT is above the 75th percentile of admitted students. Likely admits, though nothing is guaranteed.
Your ACT sits inside the middle 50% of admitted students. A reasonable chance, decided by the rest of your application.
Your ACT is below the 25th percentile. Possible, but you would need real strength elsewhere.
Based on the 993 colleges that publish an ACT range for admitted students. A further 103 report no ACT range — many are test-optional, and some publish only the other test — so an ACT can't be placed against them.
