Hey all, I've got my heart set on University of Texas, Austin, but the whole SAT thing is throwing me off. I know they're test-optional nowadays, but let's say I want to submit my score. Anyone know what sort of score they're typically looking for?
To clarify some potential confusion - as of the 2024-2025 application cycle, The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) has changed its test policy and is no longer test-optional. UT Austin requires all applicants to submit an SAT or ACT score.
Now, for the part about scores - universities, including UT Austin, typically provide a range of admitted SAT scores, specifically, the middle 50% range. This range includes the 25th to 75th percentile of admits' scores - in other words, 50% of admitted students scored within this range. Unfortunately, given the recent policy change, UT Austin has yet to publish an updated middle 50% range.
