What's up, everyone? I'm working on my college apps and I'm really interested in applying to the University of Maryland. Can anyone tell me what their current SAT requirements are like? Any info on their average admitted students' scores would be great too!
Hey there! University of Maryland (UMD) is currently test-optional until at least Fall 2025. This means that, as of now, you are not required to submit SAT scores for your application.
However, if you decide to submit your SAT scores, it's essential to know what kind of scores UMD typically accepts. While there's no strict cutoff, the middle 50% range of admitted students' scores for UMD's most recent class was around 1380-1510. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1380, while another 25% scored above 1510. Aiming for a score within or above this range can help make your application more competitive if you decide to submit your SAT scores.
Keep in mind that UMD practices a holistic review process, so all aspects of your application, like GPA, extracurriculars, essays, and letters of recommendation, also play crucial roles in admissions decisions. Good luck with your college apps!
