Hey y'all, I'm a junior starting to look at colleges and Emory caught my eye. I was wondering what kind of SAT range they usually accept? Also, does anyone know if they do superscores? Trying to figure out if I should retake the test.
Emory University typically has an admitting range of SAT scores that fall between the 25th and 75th percentiles. This means that 25% of accepted students have a score below this range and 25% have a score above.
As of the most recent data from Emory, their accepted range was 1450 to 1530 for the SAT. To be considered a competitive applicant, you may want to aim to be in the upper range of these percentiles.
As for superscoring, yes, Emory does participate in superscoring for the SAT. This means that the school takes your highest section scores from all the test dates you submit and combines them into the highest possible composite score. So, retaking the test in the hope of improving some sections might be a sound strategy.
Remember, though, that while test scores are an important part of your application, they are not the entirety of it. Emory, like many other selective schools, considers your application holistically, meaning that essays, extracurriculars, and other factors are also important components of your application.
