Hey everyone, I'm applying to Texas Tech and I'm a little stressed about my test scores. Can anyone tell me what the SAT and ACT score requirements are for Texas Tech? And what test scores do they prefer? Any help is appreciated!
Texas Tech University considers both SAT and ACT scores, and they do not have a preference for either test. As for the middle 50% range for Texas Tech, their admitted students typically have SAT scores ranging from 1100 to 1260, and ACT scores ranging from 22 to 28. Keep in mind, these are not strict requirements but rather a representation of the scores most commonly seen among accepted students. The middle 50% means that 25% of students score below this range and 25% score above, so there's room for students with lower or higher scores to be admitted.
While your test scores are important, remember that Texas Tech reviews your application holistically, which means they take multiple factors into account when evaluating your application. They consider not only your test scores, but also your high school coursework and grades, extracurricular activities, leadership experience, and your application essays. So, even if your test scores are lower than the middle 50% range, you might still have a chance of admission if your overall application is strong.
Good luck with your application to Texas Tech!
