Hey guys, UT Austin is one of my dream schools and I was wondering what SAT scores are typically expected for admission? Any information would be super helpful. Thanks a bunch!
For the 2024-2025 application cycle, UT Austin is no longer test-optional and requires applicants to submit SAT or ACT scores. While it's important to keep in mind that admissions are holistic and test scores are just one factor considered, it can help to have a general understanding of the score ranges of admitted students.
The middle 50% SAT range for admitted students at UT Austin is generally between 1230 and 1500. This means that 25% of students scored below 1230, 50% of students scored between 1230 and 1500, and 25% of students scored above 1500. To be competitive, it's advisable to aim for an SAT score within or above this middle 50% range.
However, don't forget that there are other elements to your application, such as your GPA, extracurricular activities, essays, and recommendations, that also contribute to the admissions decision. It's essential to focus on building a well-rounded application and showcasing your strengths and interests. Good luck with your application to UT Austin!
