We report the composite midpoint (the middle of the admitted range), not a fabricated 25th–75th band or a school-reported average. For the full reported range and ACT equivalents, see Arizona State University's published Common Data Set.
What score do you actually need?
There is no hard cutoff. The midpoint (~1230) is a reference point, not a promise: landing near or above it makes you competitive on the numbers; landing below it means the rest of your application — rigor, grades, essays — needs to do more work. Because Arizona State University is broadly accessible (89.9% admit rate), strong scores help but never guarantee admission on their own.
Test-optional?
Test-optional policies change year to year, so check Arizona State University's official admissions site for the policy that applies to your cycle. Our odds tool handles test-optional applicants either way: if you don't submit scores, we estimate from the rest of your profile rather than penalizing a missing number.
