Hey everyone, I'm interested in applying to Cornell, but I'm not sure if my SAT score is competitive enough. Does anyone know the average SAT score range for accepted students? Thanks!
Hello! For the most recent data available, Cornell University has a middle 50% SAT range of 1480 to 1550 for admitted students. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1480, while another 25% scored above 1550. Keep in mind that Cornell is going test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle, so submitting your SAT score is not required. However, if you feel that your SAT score strengthens your application and falls within or above this range, you can choose to submit it. Remember, admissions are holistic, and your SAT score is just one piece of your application. Good luck with your application to Cornell!
