Hi everyone! I hope y'all are doing well. I was just curious about what kind of SAT scores are typically expected for universities in Texas, like UT Austin or Texas State. Thanks in advance!
Hello! It's important to remember that SAT score expectations can vary between universities, but here's a general idea of the middle 50% SAT scores for the selected Texas universities you've mentioned:
1. University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin):
- Middle 50% SAT Range: 1240-1480
2. Texas State University:
- Middle 50% SAT Range: 990-1170
These ranges represent the middle 50% of admitted students, meaning 25% scored below the lower number and 25% scored above the higher number. While having a score within or above the middle 50% range can be helpful, universities also consider factors like grades, rigor of coursework, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation. This holistic approach ensures that applicants are evaluated beyond just their test scores. So, while a strong SAT score can support your application, it's not the only factor that determines admission.
Good luck with your college applications!
