Hi there! I'm considering applying to the University of Washington. Can anyone share information on the SAT score range they're looking for in applicants? Thanks in advance!
Hi! The University of Washington (UW) has adopted a test-optional policy for the 2024-25 admission cycle, which means submitting SAT scores is not required for applicants. However, if you choose to submit your SAT scores, it can still be considered in the admissions process.
While there is no specific SAT score requirement, it's helpful to look at the middle 50% range of admitted students' scores to gauge where your SAT score might fall in the applicant pool. For UW, the middle 50% range of admitted students' combined SAT scores in recent years has typically been around 1280-1490. Keep in mind that this range represents the 25th to 75th percentile scores, so some applicants may have been admitted with scores outside of this range as well.
Ultimately, your SAT score is just one factor in the admissions process. Make sure you focus on other aspects of your application, such as your high school coursework, grades, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation. All of these contribute to the holistic review of your application at the University of Washington.
Good luck with your application!
