Hey guys, I'm curious about the average SAT scores of students admitted to Princeton. An approximate range would be useful. It would be great if I could gauge where I stand comparatively.
Princeton University, like many other highly competitive institutions, has high SAT score averages. For the class admitted for the 2023-2024 application cycle, the middle 50% score range was approximately 1510-1570.
This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1510, and another 25% scored above 1570. However, keep in mind that these are just averages, and a score within (or even above) this range does not guarantee acceptance.
On that note, it's equally important to remember that Princeton, along with many other selective universities, has a holistic admissions process. Your SAT score is one component of your application, but not the only one. Your academic transcript, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation will carry significant weight as well.
Best of luck with your application!
