As an aspiring Agnes Scott College applicant, I'm curious about the SAT requirements. Is there a specific score range I should be aiming for? Any tips from current students or recent applicants would be really helpful!
Agnes Scott College has adopted a test-optional policy, which means that students applying to Agnes Scott have the option of including or not including their SAT or ACT scores with their application. This decision was made to increase access for students who may be disadvantaged by standardized testing.
However, if you're considering submitting your SAT scores and looking for a benchmark, you might be interested to know that in previous years, when Agnes Scott did consider SAT scores, the middle 50% range for SAT scores was approximately 1080 - 1290. But remember, these are not strict cutoffs, and students who fall outside this range are also considered.
If you choose to submit your SAT scores to Agnes Scott, remember that the overall strength of your application is more important. Your admissions decision will be based on a variety of factors, including your academic performance, involvement in extracurricular activities, community service, leadership roles, and your essays.
My advice is to gauge your comfort level with your SAT scores—if you don't think they fairly represent you as a student, you might want to consider not submitting them. Otherwise, submit your scores if you feel they could strengthen your application. Regardless, ensure that the rest of your application provides a comprehensive view of what you’d bring to the Agnes Scott community.
