12% submitted an SAT score

Every range below describes only those students, which is a small, self-selected minority of the class. That is 18 enrolled students. Students who submit scores are the ones who chose to, so the range is not a picture of the whole class.

How to read these numbers

The middle 50 percent range means a quarter of submitting students scored below the lower number and a quarter scored above the higher one. Being inside the range does not predict admission, and being below it does not rule it out.

At Martin Luther College the range is built from the 12 percent of enrolled students who chose to submit a score. Students generally submit when their score helps them, so a range drawn from that group sits higher than the class as a whole. Treat it as a description of a self-selected slice, not a cutoff.

The ACT range in SAT terms

Using the official 2018 concordance, an ACT 21 concords to roughly SAT 1080 and an ACT 28 to roughly SAT 1310. That comes with published standard errors of plus or minus 2 ACT points and plus or minus 80 SAT points, and the table predates both current tests. The converter explains the caveats.

Working out where you stand

If you have a practice test rather than an official score, the SAT score calculator converts it using that test's own official table, and the score needed calculator works backwards from a target to the raw score it takes.

For what these numbers mean in national terms rather than at one institution, see the percentile tables and what counts as a good score.

Whether scores are required here

This page does not state Martin Luther College's current testing policy. The policy field in the federal data is self-reported and lags real changes, sometimes by a full admissions cycle, and several universities have reinstated requirements recently.

Check Martin Luther College's own admissions pages for the cycle you are applying in. Their site is www.mlc-wels.edu. Our guide covers the current landscape, with the same warning.

Sources

The two sources have different vintages, one year apart. That is stated rather than smoothed over, because a submission percentage from a different cohort than the score range is a real limitation of the joined data.

Common questions

What ACT score do you need for Martin Luther College?
The middle 50 percent of enrolled students who submitted an ACT scored 21 to 28 on the composite. 71 percent of enrolled students submitted an ACT score.
Why is there no single SAT total range on this page?
Because neither of the sources publishes one. The 25th percentile of a total is not the sum of the two section 25th percentiles, so adding them together would overstate the spread. The sections are shown separately, which is what the data actually supports.
How selective is Martin Luther College?
The reported admission rate is 87.2 percent. Admission rates and score ranges describe different things, and a score inside the published range is not by itself a prediction of admission.
How current is this data?
Score ranges come from the College Scorecard release of 2026-08, covering the Fall 2024 cohort, released 2026-06-10. Submission percentages come from IPEDS, Fall 2023 cohort. The two have different vintages and are labelled separately on this page.
