Hey y'all, I'm super interested in UMass and I've been working hard to get good grades and preparing for my SAT. Do you guys have any idea about what kind of SAT scores UMass is typically looking for? Thanks in advance!
Always glad to see students preparing ahead of time! To address your question, the University of Massachusetts, Amherst (UMass Amherst), falls into the category of moderately selective schools. According to the most recent data, the middle 50% SAT score for accepted students at UMass Amherst is around 1250-1480. This means that about 50% of students scored within this range.
Keep in mind, though, that these scores are not hard-and-fast cutoffs. They're just averages, and the admissions office also takes many other factors into account. Make sure to dedicate time to your high school coursework, extracurricular activities, and other parts of the application, such as your essays and recommendation letters. Good luck with your preparation!
