Hey guys! I'm starting to prep for the SAT and one of my target schools is Texas State. What kind of SAT scores do they generally look for in their applicants? I want to set a target score to aim for. Any advice would be appreciated!
Hello! It's great that you're setting a target SAT score as you start preparing. For Texas State University, the middle 50% of enrolled students typically score between 990 to 1180 on the SAT. To give you an idea, the 25th percentile score is 990, meaning that 25% of enrolled students scored at or below that number, while the 75th percentile score is 1180, meaning that 75% of enrolled students scored at or below that number.
Having a score in or above this range might help you be competitive in the admissions process. However, aiming for a higher score can definitely improve your chances, and it might also qualify you for certain scholarships. Don't forget that, in addition to your SAT scores, your grades, extracurricular activities, essays, and other factors also play a crucial role in college admissions.
Keep in mind that a strong SAT score is no guarantee of admission, but it can certainly help your application stand out. Best of luck with your SAT preparation and your application to Texas State!
