ivy league act scores

in this episode of tuesdact, i take a look at act scores and the prestigious ivy league.

here are some the questions i answer:

    1. what are the average act scores of admitted students at each member of the ivy league? (spoiler alert: they are below as well)

    2. what are the average act writing scores of admitted students at each member of the ivy league? (teaser: the answer may surprise you)

    3. do these traditionally sat-focused schools really think act scores are just as good? (watch to find out!)
