I'm a junior trying to plan for college, and I'm considering Michigan State University. What SAT score would I need to improve my chances of getting in? Can someone provide info on the average SAT score or SAT score range for admitted students at MSU?
To improve your chances of being admitted to Michigan State University (MSU), it's a good idea to aim for an SAT score at or above the average for admitted students. For MSU, the average admitted student typically has an SAT score of around 1210 out of 1600.
To be on the more competitive side, you'd ideally want to aim a bit above 1210, but do keep in mind that colleges look at multiple factors in the admission process. While having a strong SAT score undoubtedly boosts your chances, other components of your application like your GPA, extracurricular activities, and essays also play an important role.
So, even if you're in a strong position with your SAT score, don't neglect these other areas. On the flip side, even if you're a bit below it, that doesn't mean you'll automatically be rejected. Just focus on showcasing your strengths in other areas of your application.
Good luck with your college applications!
