Hi everyone! I'm looking into applying to Bowdoin College, but I want to make sure my SAT score is competitive. Can anyone share what the average SAT score for admitted students at Bowdoin is?
Hello! Bowdoin College has been test-optional since 1969, which means they don't require SAT or ACT scores for admission. However, it's still helpful to know what the average SAT scores are for those who submit them. Based on the most recent data, the middle 50% range of SAT scores for admitted students at Bowdoin is:
- Reading and Writing: 730-760
- Math: 750-790
Keep in mind that these are just ranges, and they don't guarantee admission. If your scores fall within or above these ranges, that's a good sign, but also remember that Bowdoin, like many other colleges, takes a holistic approach to admissions, considering various factors beyond test scores. Good luck with your application!
