Targeted Outreach: How ACT Recruit Me Benefits Colleges and Universities

ACT Recruit Me is a free, opt-in service available to students when they register for the ACT test, designed to help colleges and universities connect with prospective students who are a strong fit for their programs. By leveraging information from the student’s MyACT profile—such as interests, intended majors, and career goals—institutions can identify and reach out to students who align with their offerings. This service not only streamlines the recruitment process but also broadens access to a diverse pool of college-bound students. For higher education professionals, ACT Recruit Me offers a powerful tool to enhance outreach, personalize communications, and improve enrollment outcomes, while also helping students discover tailored scholarship opportunities and simplify the admissions journey. Students are introduced to ACT Recruit Me during the ACT test registration process and can learn more about it on the “Discover Dream Schools and Unlock Scholarships” page of the ACT website. 

ACT/SAT Concordance Table

The ACT/SAT Concordance Table provides a score comparison to show how a student might perform on the other test. The current table was established in 2018. A new study of concordance from ACT and the College Board is expected in 2027.
