I'm considering the University of Connecticut as one of my top choices. I'm in the process of preparing for the SAT and I'm curious as to what score I should aim for when taking the test, specifically for UCONN. Any insights on this would be appreciated!
You're right to consider SAT scores as part of your college preparation plan since they can play a role in the application process for some schools. For UCONN, the last publicly available mid-50% SAT score range for admitted students was between around 1230 to 1430.
This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1230, and another 25% of students scored above 1430, Therefore, a competitive SAT score would be in that range or higher.
Remember, these numbers are not necessarily cutoffs or guarantees. They are simply ranges that most admitted students fall into. It's also important to consider that your SAT score is just one part of your entire application. Colleges, UCONN included, evaluate your application in a holistic manner. This means they consider your academic achievements, extracurricular involvements, and personal qualities, in addition to your SAT score. Good luck with your preparations!
