Hey everyone! I'm applying to the University of Maryland next year and I'm curious what their SAT score requirements are. Any info would be super helpful. Thanks!
Hey there! While the University of Maryland (UMD) does not have a strict minimum SAT score requirement, it's important to know that they practice holistic admissions, so meeting certain scores doesn't guarantee acceptance. However, to give you a general idea of what they're looking for, you can consider the middle 50% SAT range for admitted students, which is a helpful indicator of where your scores should ideally be.
For UMD, the middle 50% SAT range for admitted students is typically around 1360-1520. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1360, while another 25% scored above 1520, and thus 50% of the students fall within this range. If your scores are within or above this range, you'll likely be more competitive in the admissions process.
Keep in mind that a strong application includes not only solid test scores but also a rigorous coursework, great grades, impressive extracurricular involvement, and compelling essays. Best of luck with your application!
