ACT Range16 to 21

Average GPA3.18

Acceptance Rate87.8%

Avila’s high acceptance rate means your first goal is to present a steady academic record and clear interest in the campus, not to treat admission as a long shot. Because ACT scores are submitted far more often than SAT scores here, a 21+ ACT can be a useful optional add-on if it strengthens your application.

Take tests early for the best outcomes

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Avila, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by spring of junior year so you can use the summer before senior year and fall of senior year for superscore-focused retakes. Because Avila’s Regular Decision deadline is July 31, even a December retake should arrive in time.
