Hello! I'm currently working on my application for UNC Chapel Hill and was curious about their SAT requirements or recommendations, especially for the upcoming year. Any help is much appreciated!
UNC Chapel Hill is currently test-optional, so you aren't required to submit your SAT scores. However, if you believe your SAT score is a strong component of your application and supports your overall profile, you can choose to submit it.
If you’re trying to determine whether submitting your SAT score makes sense, it may be helpful to look at the average SAT scores of accepted students at UNC, which are usually around 1400. Keep in mind that UNC considers a range of factors outside of your SAT score, so a strong one won’t guarantee you acceptance and a weak one won’t lead to automatic rejection, but a score around 1400 will certainly improve your chances.
