What's the average SAT score for Clemson University?

Hey guys! I've been working hard to prepare for the SATs and Clemson University is definitely on my list of potential schools. Does anyone know what the average range of SAT scores is for accepted students?

For the most recent year available, the middle 50% of SAT scores for accepted students at Clemson University is usually around 1240-1400. This statistic means 25% of accepted students scored below 1240, 25% scored above 1400, and the remaining 50% fell within this range.

Keep in mind that while standardized test scores are an important part of your application, they're not the only thing Clemson looks at. They consider your grades, coursework, extracurricular activities, and other factors too.

If you want to know how your application as a whole stacks up at Clemson, I'd check out CollegeVine's free chancing engine, which accounts for all quantifiable elements of your application, including GPA, course rigor, test scores (if you have them), and extracurriculars to give you personalized odds of acceptance at Clemson and hundreds of other colleges: https://www.collegevine.com/admissions-calculator

This tool will also give you suggestions on how to improve your chances, whether by raising your SAT score slightly or some other step, like earning a leadership position in one of your extracurriculars.

Finally, it's worth noting that Clemson is officially test-optional, so you actually are not required to submit an SAT (or ACT) score. However, you're smart to still be thinking about target SAT scores, as there can still be instances where including a standardized test score with your application can be a good idea.
