Hola folks! I've been eyeing UPenn for a while now, aiming to apply for their business studies. Can anyone tell me about the typical SAT scores needed for admission? What range should I be aiming at to stand a better chance?
Hello! UPenn is a highly selective Ivy League institution, and the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, where you would study business, is particularly competitive. As you might expect, their incoming students usually have strong SAT scores.
For the 2023-2024 application cycle, the middle 50% SAT score range for admitted students was between 1500 and 1580. That means 25% of UPenn's admitted students scored below 1500, and 25% scored above 1580.
However, it's important to remember that your SAT score is just one part of your application. UPenn values a holistic approach and looks at your course rigor, grades, essays, extracurriculars, and other components as well when making admissions decisions.
I would recommend aiming for at least a 1500 to be within the middle 50% range, and scoring above 1580 would make you more competitive. But also remember to balance studying for the SAT with maintaining high grades and involvement in your extracurricular activities. Best of luck with your college journey!
