UCSD SAT requirement?

I'm applying to UC San Diego and was wondering what their SAT requirements are, or if they have a minimum score? Thanks in advance :)

UC San Diego and other University of California (UC) schools became test-blind for the Fall 2021 application cycle and beyond, which means that they will not review standardized test scores (like the SAT) at all during the admissions process, even if you submit them. Consequently, there is no minimum score or requirement for the SAT at UCSD.

Instead, the focus for admissions will be on your academic performance in high school, extracurricular activities, essays, and other factors like your personal background and experiences. Be sure to emphasize these elements in your application to showcase your strengths, passions, and fit for UCSD. For example, you might consider reallocating some of the time you were going to spend preparing for the SAT to reading this blog post from CollegeVine breaking down how to tackle UCSD's essays: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-university-of-california-essays.

Good luck with your application to UCSD!
