Hey guys, does anyone know what kind of SAT scores I should be aiming for for universities in San Diego?
The SAT expectations can vary depending on the specific university in San Diego that you're considering.
For the University of San Diego (USD), their student profile data suggests that the middle 50% of SAT scores for admitted students ranges from 1230 to 1410. So aiming for a score within that range, or higher, would generally make you a competitive candidate.
On the other hand, the Cal State system, including San Diego State University (SDSU) and CSU San Marcos, has opted to be test-blind for some time now. This means these universities no longer consider SAT scores as a part of their admissions process.
Remember that testing is just one part of your application, and each university might weigh different parts of your application differently. It's always a good idea to do research on your specific universities of interest in order to understand their process and what they value in applicants. Good luck!
