Hey guys! I'm planning to apply to Binghamton University next year and I'm a bit stressed about my SAT score. Could someone let me know about the average SAT score for admitted students? I just want to see if I'm in the right ballpark.
Hey there! Binghamton University is a great choice, and it's totally normal to feel a bit stressed about test scores. As of the most recent available information, the middle 50% SAT score range for admitted students at Binghamton University is between 1300 and 1450. This statistic means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1300, 25% scored above 1450, and 50% scored within this range.
Keep in mind that these are not strict cutoffs, but rather to give you an idea of where the majority of admitted students' scores fall. Admission decisions are usually based on multiple factors, so even if your score is slightly below this range, don't lose hope! Just focus on showcasing your strengths in other areas of your application, such as your GPA, extracurricular activities, or essays.
It's also worth noting that Binghamton is officially test-optional, so submitting an SAT (or ACT) score is actually not required. That being said, there are instances where including a test score in your application can be a good idea.
