Hi guys! I've been considering Adelphi University as one of my options. I'm curious about what kind of SAT scores they're usually looking for from applicants. Does anyone have info on this or some personal experience? I'd greatly appreciate the help!
Hi there! Adelphi University is generally considered somewhat selective, with an acceptance rate of around 74%. As for SAT scores, while Adelphi has adopted a test-optional policy for students applying for Fall 2024, knowing the middle 50% scores would still give you an idea about the typical range for accepted students who chose to submit their scores. For Adelphi, the middle 50% SAT score range is between 1120 and 1310.
Keep in mind that these are not strict score cut-offs, and the university will be looking at your application holistically. If you're within or above this range, you'll likely be competitive academically, but make sure to also focus on providing a strong overall application with emphasis on your extracurricular activities, essays, and other accomplishments that showcase your strengths and potential contribution to the Adelphi community.
Good luck with your application!
