Brown University SAT range?

Hey guys, I'm interested in applying to Brown University, but I'm unsure if my SAT scores are within their range. Would anyone know what the SAT range is for their admitted students?

Sure! While the exact SAT scores for Brown University might vary slightly year to year, you can find a general range by looking at the middle 50% SAT scores for admitted students. For Brown, this range has been around 1510-1570 in recent years. This statistic means that 25% of admitted students scored below a 1510, 50% scored between a 1510 and 1570, and the remaining 25% scored above a 1570.

It's important to keep in mind that these ranges are for reference only, and a higher or lower score won't guarantee admission or rejection. Brown, like many top schools, employs a holistic review process when evaluating applicants, which means they take into account factors beyond test scores, such as essays, extracurricular activities, and recommendation letters.

If your SAT score is near or within this range, it's worth considering applying to Brown as long as you also present compelling aspects in the other parts of your application. If your SAT score is significantly below this range, you may still be competitive if you have exceptional strengths in other areas, but it might be more challenging, so retaking the SAT may be worth your while.

Good luck!
