I'm planning to apply to the Coast Guard Academy next year. Could anyone tell me what SAT score range they're looking for? Would a high score really boost my application chances?
The U.S. Coast Guard Academy does require the SAT or the ACT for admission. The average score range for admitted students at the Coast Guard Academy would typically fall between 1160-1365 for the SAT. As such, if your scores are in or above this range, it may enhance your application.
However, these tests are just one aspect of your application. The Coast Guard Academy also places high value on other components such as leadership experiences, physical fitness, and academic performance in challenging classes. Therefore, a high SAT score can boost your chances, but it won't guarantee admission if other aspects of your application don't meet their standards.
Keep preparing for the SAT and aim for highest score you can, but also pay attention to developing your skills, experiences, and academic record in other areas as well. Good Luck!
