Hi all! I have been eyeing Spelman College as one of my top choices, but I'm not sure what the SAT requirements are. Do they have a minimum score, or do they consider test-optional applicants? If anyone has any info, please share!
As of the 2024-2025 application cycle, Spelman College is test-optional, which means you have the choice to submit your SAT scores or not. If you feel that your SAT scores represent your academic abilities well and would like to include them in your application, you can. However, if you feel that your SAT scores are not reflective of your academic potential, you have the option to apply without submitting your test scores.
Spelman College does not have a minimum SAT score requirement as they evaluate each application holistically. Instead of focusing solely on test scores, they also consider other factors such as your GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, essays, and recommendation letters.
If you decide to submit your SAT scores, keep in mind that while there is no official minimum score requirement, you should aim to have a competitive score in comparison to previously admitted students. For reference, the middle 50% SAT score range for admitted students at Spelman in the past was between 1050 and 1250. However, each application cycle is different, and focusing on all aspects of your application will help ensure that you present the strongest application possible.
