Hey, everyone! Junior here. I'm planning on applying to Texas A&M University next year. Does anyone know what the SAT requirements are to get in? I'm aiming to send in my applications early, so I gotta plan my test prep!
Texas A&M University is test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle, but you can still choose to submit test scores if you think it would benefit your application.
While the university doesn't provide a strict "requirement" or cut-off for SAT scores when considering applications, looking at the middle 50% score band can provide a good benchmark. In recent years, the middle 50% SAT score range for admitted students has been roughly 1160-1380. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1160, while another 25% scored above 1380.
The best advice would be ensuring that you take enough time to prepare and aiming to score within or above this range to be competitive. It's also important to remember that a strong SAT score is only one part of your application. Good grades in rigorous coursework, impressive extracurricular activities, strong essays, and impactful letters of recommendation all play essential roles in your application.
Bear in mind that while good test scores can enhance your application, every aspect of your profile will be comprehensively reviewed. Best of luck with your test prep and the rest of your college application journey!
