Hey everyone, I'm interested in applying to CU Boulder. Can someone please tell me the average SAT range of admitted students? Is it pretty competitive or more on the lenient side? Thanks!
Hello! The University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) does have a competitive admissions process, but it's not as selective as some of the top-tier universities. For the most recent data available, CU Boulder had an average SAT range for admitted students between 1160 and 1380. This includes scores in both the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math sections.
It's important to remember that each year's admitted class can have different test score ranges, and while test scores do play a role in the admissions process, CU Boulder also looks at other factors such as GPA, course rigor, and extracurricular activities. To increase your chances of acceptance, try to have a well-rounded application and focus on showcasing your strengths, both academically and beyond. Good luck with your application!
