Michigan State SAT score requirements?

I plan on applying to Michigan State, and I'm a bit stressed trying to figure out what SAT score I should aim for. Can anyone tell me what the average SAT score is for admitted students or if there's a specific requirement?

There isn't a specific SAT score requirement for Michigan State University (MSU), as they use a holistic approach in their admissions process, which means they evaluate applicants based on various factors like academics, extracurricular involvement, and personal qualities. However, to give you an idea of the range of SAT scores for admitted students, here are some statistics from the most recent admissions cycle:

The middle 50% SAT scores for admitted students to Michigan State are as follows:

- Evidence-Based Reading and Writing: 550-650

- Math: 540-660

- Total: 1100-1300

These numbers mean that 50% of admitted students scored within this range. Of course, this is just a guideline and not a strict requirement. You can still be admitted with a lower score if other parts of your application are strong, or you may be denied despite having a higher score if other aspects of your application aren't as competitive.

It's a good idea to aim for a score within or above this range, but also focus on other parts of your application like your GPA, extracurriculars, and essays. Good luck with your application to Michigan State!
