What the numbers say about Abilene Christian University

• The reported middle 50% spans 200 points, from 1070 to 1270. A planning score near or above 1310 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
• The reported section midpoints are 590 Reading and Writing and 580 Math. Use the lower section as the first place to look for recoverable points in your own score split.
• The Scorecard snapshot reports a 66% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
