Average ACT: 27. The average ACT score composite at Baylor is a 27. The 25th percentile ACT score is 24, and the 75th percentile ACT score is 29. In other words, a 24 places you below average, while a 29 will move you up to above average. There's no absolute ACT requirement at Baylor, but they really want to see at least a 24 to have a chance at being considered.
Nevada earns the dubious honor of getting the lowest average ACT score, with an average composite of 17.8. This low average is likely due to the fact that Nevada only recently began to mandate statewide ACT testing starting in 2016. In general, big jumps in test takers often result in lower averages.
