What SAT scores do I need for Hofstra University?

I'm interested in applying to Hofstra University, but I'm not sure what SAT scores are typically needed for admission. Can anyone tell me what a competitive score would be for this school?

Hofstra University has a test-optional policy, which means you are not required to submit SAT or ACT scores to be considered for admission. However, if you do decide to submit your SAT scores, having a competitive score can strengthen your application.

For the 2024-2025 application cycle, the middle 50% SAT scores of admitted students at Hofstra University ranged from 1230 to 1410. To be a competitive applicant, you should aim for a score within or above this range. Scoring above 1410 would place you in the top 25% of applicants, which can further boost your application. Keep in mind that Hofstra's admission process looks at various other factors like your GPA, extracurricular involvement, and essays. Having a strong SAT score is only one aspect of a well-rounded application.

That being said, if you believe your SAT score doesn't accurately represent your abilities or would not strengthen your application, you can choose not to submit it, thanks to Hofstra's test-optional policy. Instead, you can focus on other parts of your application to showcase your strengths and potential, like your academic achievements, extracurricular activities, and personal essays.
