Hey there! Junior here considering UVA. I was wondering what the average SAT score is for accepted students? I know holistic review is important, but it'd be nice to know where I roughly stand. Thank you!
Hello! It's awesome that you're interested in UVA. For the 2024-2025 application cycle, when considering applications, UVA could potentially use either the SAT or ACT in their review process. Starting from the 25th percentile, a good score range for admitted students was around 1380-1500 for the SAT.
But remember, these are average ranges and not cutoffs. There are students who get accepted with scores lower than these, and others who get denied with higher scores. It's always beneficial to aim for scores in this range or higher, but keep in mind the importance of other application components: your essays, extracurriculars, GPA, and coursework are all critical pieces of your application as well.
Hope this sheds some light onto what UVA looks for in terms of test scores! Best of luck with your college journey.
