Average SAT score for Loyola University?

Hi! I've been eyeing Loyola University but I'm a bit uncertain on the average SAT score for applicants. Does anyone know what it is and how important it is in the admissions process?

3 months ago

The middle 50% SAT range for admitted students at Loyola University in Chicago is typically around 1180 to 1370. It's important to note that this means 25% of admitted students scored below 1180 and another 25% scored above 1370. The average would fall somewhere near the middle of this range.

In terms of its importance in the admissions process, Loyola University is test-optional as of the 2024-2025 application cycle. This means you have the choice to submit SAT scores or not. If you feel your scores effectively represent your academic abilities, you can feel free to include them. If you think your scores aren't strong, or if other parts of your application (like your GPA, extracurriculars or essays) do a better job showing your strengths and potential, it may be in your interest to not submit test scores.

Please keep in mind that admissions also take into account factors such as your academic accomplishments, extracurricular activities, leadership experiences, and personal essay alongside any test scores submitted. This holistic review helps the admissions committee to evaluate your fit and potential contribution to the Loyola University community beyond academics alone.
