Hi, I'm considering applying to the University of South Carolina Columbia. I was wondering if anyone knows the average SAT scores for accepted students there? Thanks for any help you can provide!

Of course! The University of South Carolina (Columbia) typically provides middle 50% SAT score ranges for its accepted students. While these figures may change year-to-year, the most recent data available indicates that the middle 50% SAT scores for USC Columbia have the following ranges

South Carolina Residents: 1110–1320

Nonresidents: 1260–1410

This means that 25% of admitted students scored below the lower value of each respective range, 25% scored above the higher value, and 50% scored within the respective range.

Keep in mind that these numbers are just a guideline, and USC Columbia uses a holistic admissions process to evaluate applicants. Test scores are just one part of your application, and the university will also consider other factors like your high school transcript, essays, extracurricular activities, and letters of recommendation.

While aiming to fall within or exceed the middle 50% score range is a helpful goal, remember that applicants who have lower scores may still be admitted due to strong elements in other areas of their application. You can improve your chances by ensuring your application showcases your strengths and highlights how you'd be an excellent fit for USC Columbia. Good luck!
