What's the average SAT score for Yale?

Hello, everyone. I'm a junior aiming for the Ivy League, with Yale being my dream school. I've been studying for the SAT like crazy, but I'm not sure what marks I should be aiming for. Can anyone tell me what the average SAT score is for students who get into Yale?

For the 2024-2025 application cycle, the middle 50% SAT score range at Yale was about 1480-1580. This implies that 25% of admitted students scored below 1480 and that 25% of admitted students scored above 1580.

While test scores remain an important part of the application, they're one of multiple factors and not the sole determining factor of admission. Admissions committees at schools like Yale consider a holistic view of the applicant that includes grades, rigor of coursework, extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, and essays. Therefore, while aiming for a score within the stated range would be beneficial, don't let it overshadow your focus on the other aspects of your application.
