Mid-Plains Community College SAT Scores, ACT Scores, Acceptance Rate, and Admissions Requirements

If your grades have uneven spots, a strong SAT or ACT can still give you useful evidence of college readiness, while your main focus should be building a first-year plan that supports persistence beyond semester one.

If you choose to submit scores to test-optional Mid-Plains, plan to take your first SAT or ACT by the spring of junior year, then use the summer before senior year and the fall of senior year for retakes. Since Mid-Plains does not offer Early Decision or Early Action, work backward from its Regular Decision deadline and choose the latest fall retake whose scores will arrive in time; do not use the May 1 financial aid priority deadline as your testing target.
