I'm planning to apply to Hunter College and want to know what SAT scores I should aim for. What's the typical score range for admitted students there?
Hunter College is part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, and like many colleges, it adopts a holistic approach to admissions. According to the latest data, the middle 50% range of SAT scores for Hunter College admitted students is between 1220 and 1400.
This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1220, while another 25% scored above 1400. But don't forget, your SAT score is just one piece of your application. GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, and your personal statement also play significant roles in the admissions decision process.
Keep in mind that if your SAT score isn't quite in this range, that doesn't necessarily mean you won't be accepted. There are students who are admitted with scores below the bottom 25% range, just as there are students who are denied with scores in the top 25% range. It's all about the entire package you present to the admissions committee.
