What SAT scores do I need for University of Wisconsin Madison?

Hi there! I'm planning on applying to the University of Wisconsin Madison and I was curious to know what the average SAT scores of admitted students are? Any insight or advice would be super helpful. Thanks, guys!

For the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison), the middle 50% range of SAT scores for recently admitted students was approximately 1320 to 1500. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1320, 50% scored between 1320 and 1500, and 25% scored above 1500. While these scores can give you a general sense of the competitiveness of the applicant pool, keep in mind that UW-Madison takes a holistic approach to admissions, considering factors beyond test scores, such as your GPA, course rigor, extracurricular involvement, essays, and letters of recommendation.

Since UW-Madison is currently test-optional, you have the choice to submit your SAT scores or not. If your score falls within or above this middle 50% range and aligns with the rest of your academic profile, it may be worthwhile to submit your scores. However, if your scores are on the lower end or below this range, you might consider not submitting them and focusing on other aspects of your application, like your extracurricular activities and essays.

Good luck with your application to UW-Madison!
