What's up everyone? Planning my SAT prep and aiming for Cal Poly, really love everything about the place. Just wondering if anyone knows the average SAT scores for students admitted over there. Thanks in advance, folks!
While Cal Poly has stopped considering SAT or ACT scores in the admission process starting from the 2024-2025 cycle, students still sometimes find it helpful to look at such data as a rough benchmark. That being said, for your knowledge, back when Cal Poly considered standardized test scores they reported a middle 50% range of 1250-1420 for the SAT.
However, since Cal Poly is now 'test-blind', meaning they won't consider your SAT scores at all, it would be more productive to focus on other aspects of the application like your GPA, essays if applicable, and extracurricular activities. Aim to have a standout profile with a mix of Tier 1, 2 and 3 extracurricular activities. Cal Poly also considers the rigor of your course load significant. So, keep that in mind as you plan for your application.
