Duke SAT Scores - What Should I Aim For?

Hey guys! I'm a high-school junior, working hard to bring up my SAT scores. I'm super interested in Duke University, but I'm stressed about what kind of score I should target. Can anyone shed some light on the typical SAT scores of admitted Duke students?

Sure! Duke University is extremely competitive, so as you might expect, the SAT scores of admitted students tend to be quite high. For the Class of 2027, the middle 50% range for the SAT was 1520 to 1570.

Remember, this range really reflect the middle 50% of successful applicants and are not strict cutoffs. Some students admitted to Duke have SAT scores that fall under this range, while others may be over.

Also keep in mind that while your SAT score is important, it's not the only factor that Duke considers when reviewing applications. They also look at things like your course rigor, GPA, extracurricular activities, and essays. Good luck with your SAT preparation!
