Hi! So, I'm considering applying to Texas State University and I'm curious about how competitive I'll be with my SAT score. Does anyone know what the average or recommended SAT scores are for admission to Texas State? Thanks in advance!
Hello! First of all, it's great that you're considering Texas State University. When it comes to SAT scores, it's essential to remember that they're only one part of your overall application, and universities typically evaluate applicants using a holistic approach.
That being said, Texas State has a range of SAT scores for its admitted students. For the Fall 2023 freshman class, the middle 50% of enrolled students had SAT scores ranging from 1000 to 1180. This means that 25% of students scored below 1000, and another 25% scored above 1180. If your SAT score falls within this range or above, you'll likely be considered a competitive applicant in terms of your test score.
However, don't get too hung up on having an exact score, as a strong application can still stand out if other components, such as your GPA, extracurriculars, and essays, are exceptional. So, focusing on building a well-rounded application can also be quite important in the admissions process. Good luck with your application to Texas State!
