Hey guys, I'm curious about Cal Poly. What's the average GPA for admitted students? I know this school is known for its competitive programs, I would really appreciate some insight about what I should aim for to be a competitive applicant.
Yale University is well-known for its highly competitive admissions process, and scoring well on the SAT can certainly help boost your chances of admission. The latest data I have on hand is for the 2024-2025 application cycle, in which Yale has ended its test-optional policy and is requiring applicants to submit an SAT or ACT score.
As for the average SAT score, the middle 50% range for Yale's admitted students is usually around 1500-1580 out of 1600. This means that 25% of admitted students score below a 1500, while 25% score above a 1580.
Keep in mind that these are just averages, and your individual SAT score is only one part of your application. Yale also gives considerable weight to your GPA, rigor of high school courses, recommendation letters, extracurricular activities, and essays.
Best of luck in your application journey!
