Hey guys! I'm looking into Clemson as a potential college choice, but I'm unsure as to what SAT score I should aim for. What's the typical SAT range for Clemson applicants?
Thanks for any insights!
Hello! The typical SAT range for Clemson University tends to be between 1240 and 1400. This range signifies the middle 50% of accepted students, meaning that 25% of students scored below 1240, 25% scored above 1400, and the remaining 50% scored within this range.
Although it's important to aim for a competitive SAT score within or above this range, keep in mind that Clemson also considers other factors in their admissions process, such as GPA, extracurricular activities, and personal statements. A strong application in other areas can help balance a slightly lower test score.
That said, to be the most competitive applicant possible, you'd have at least a 1400 on your SAT, as this score would place you in the top quartile of applicants. If you're in the high 1300s, that would also put you in an above-average position in the Clemson applicant pool.
Good luck with your college application process!
