Hey! I'm a junior looking to apply to Clemson and I'm really curious, what's the average SAT score for admitted students? I know that scores aren't everything and the holistic application review is important as well, but I would love to have a rough point of reference. Thank you!
The middle 50% SAT score range for Clemson University typically falls between 1240 and 1400. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1240, 25% scored above 1400, and the remaining 50% of students scored in between these two values. Keep in mind, on this scale, a perfect score is 1600.
This does not mean that you need to have an SAT score within this range to be admitted, but it can be helpful to aim for these scores, especially considering Clemson has a fairly competitive admissions process.
Additionally, while test scores contribute to the overall picture of an applicant's academic ability, factors such as your high school GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, leadership experiences, and essays are also integral parts of your application. Therefore, if your score is slightly below the range, don't be discouraged from applying if your application is strong in other areas.
Best of luck with your application to Clemson!
