What colleges can I get into with a 30 ACT?

A 30 ACT is at or above the median at 249 of the 352 colleges that publish ACT ranges, including Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, Citadel Military College of South Carolina and Spelman. By our tiers that's 168 likely, 112 target and 35 reach colleges.

ACT ranges from each college's Common Data Set (mostly 2024–25 and 2025–26), for enrolled first-year students who sent an ACT; admit rates from it or IPEDS, the federal college survey. Tiers use the ACT and admit rate only. Percentiles from ACT's 2026–27 National Ranks. The college chances tool converts an ACT to the SAT scale first, so a few tiers there can differ.
