I'm looking into Florida International University and trying to figure out what SAT scores I might need for admission. Do any of you know the typical range or score requirements? It'd help me plan my test prep strategy.
FIU (Florida International University) takes a holistic approach to application assessment, meaning they'll consider more than just your SAT scores. That being said, the SAT still plays an essential role in their decision-making process.
To give you a general idea, as per the most recent data, the middle 50% SAT range for enrolled students at FIU is from 1080 to 1250. However, keep in mind this is not a strict cut-off: Students with scores below or above this range are also accepted.
If your score falls in the mid-range or higher, you're generally in a good position for consideration. That said, strong grades, course rigor, and compelling extracurriculars can counterbalance a less competitive test score, as all these components are part of the comprehensive review process.
But to maximize your chances, you should aim to meet or exceed the upper end of the middle 50% range. I recommend building a study plan that'll help you achieve this goal, focusing on areas where you think you could improve the most. Good luck with your test preparation and your application!
