ACT score standards at universities are often correlated to overall acceptance rates. Princeton University reports an admit rate of about 6.5% and middle-50% ACT composite scores of 32-35 (the 98th and 99th percentiles of all test-takers). The mean composite ACT score for new students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is approximately 34, and the acceptance rate is 7.9%. Large public universities tend to have higher admit rates and lower average test scores. The University of Florida accepts approximately 45% of its applicants, for whom the middle-50% ACT score range is 26-31 (the 83rd through the 96th percentiles). UCLA, one of the most selective public universities in the United States, provides data on its acceptance rates by ACT score. Students who received composite ACT scores of 30 or better were accepted at a rate of 36.05%, compared to 13.73% for scores of 26-29, 10.51% for scores of 22-25, 7.04% for scores of 18-21, and 1.59% for scores below 18 (the overall acceptance rate at UCLA is about 18%).
