Hey guys, I'm a junior looking to apply to Northwestern next year. Does anyone know the current average SAT score for accepted students? I want to make sure I'm in the ballpark before applying. Thanks!
Hey! For the class of 2025, the middle 50% SAT scores for admitted students at Northwestern fall between 1490 and 1570. Keep in mind that this is just a general range, and there are students who fall outside this middle 50%. While standardized test scores are important, remember that Northwestern, like many other top-tier universities, considers more than just test scores when evaluating applications—they also review your grades, coursework, extracurricular activities, and essays. It's always a good idea to strive for the highest score you can, but also focus on the other aspects of your application like your essays and extracurricular activities. Good luck with your college application journey!
