Hi there! I've been really interested in applying to the University of Florida, and I can't seem to find whether or not they require SAT scores for admission. Does anyone know if they do?
Yes, the University of Florida (UF) does require SAT scores for admission. Many universities, including UF, have moved to a test-optional policy, but UF reverted to requiring standardized test scores for the Fall 2023 admissions cycle and beyond.
When applying to UF, you should aim for an SAT score that is competitive with their admitted students' profile. For reference, the middle 50% of the first-year students admitted in Fall 2022 had an SAT score ranging from 1350 to 1490. Keep in mind that these numbers may change slightly each year, so always refer to their official website or contact the admissions office for the most up-to-date information.
Additionally, remember that UF, along with other universities, utilizes a holistic review process, which means they'll consider other aspects of your application, such as your GPA, extracurricular activities, leadership, and essays, in addition to your test scores. So having a competitive SAT score is essential, but make sure to pay attention to other parts of your application as well. Good luck!
