Quick question: what are the SAT requirements for Brown University? I know scores are just one aspect of the whole application process, but I want to know the range I should be aiming for.
Brown University is one of those schools that has recently reverted back to requiring SAT scores, starting from the 2024-2025 application cycle. This means that for the upcoming application cycle, you will need to submit your SAT scores with your application.
As for the range you should be aiming for, Brown has a pretty competitive middle 50% range, which indicates that 50% of its accepted students have scores within this range. In 2023, the latest year for which we have data, Brown's middle 50% SAT range was 1510 to 1560. If you're scoring in this range, your SAT score will likely not be a barrier for you during the application review process.
Important thing to note, however, is that a high SAT score isn't a guarantee of admission. Brown is incredibly selective and will be reviewing other parts of your application as well - your GPA, your essays, your course rigor, your extracurriculars. Nevertheless, aiming for a score at least within the middle 50% range is a good baseline for starting your standardized test preparation. Good luck with your test prep!
