Hello, everyone! So, I'm in the early stages of my college search and UT Austin is very high on my list. I was just curious if anyone knows the required or recommended SAT scores for this school? Thanks in advance!
Starting with the 2024-2025 admissions cycle, the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) has reinstated its test requirement policy, meaning that all applicants need to submit an SAT or ACT score for consideration.
As for the score range, while they don't officially set a minimum SAT score, to remain competitive for admission, it's important to aim for a score that falls within or above the typical range for admitted UT Austin students. The middle 50% of new first-year students had SAT scores between 1230 and 1500.
It's important to remember that while standardized test scores are a significant factor in admissions, especially for universities like UT Austin, they aren't the only criteria that'll be used to judge your application. Emphasis is also placed on academic performance, course rigor, essays, and extracurricular involvement.
Remember to practice and prepare as best as you can for the SAT, and strive to showcase your strengths and interests in other areas of your application as well. Best of luck with your application!
