Hello! UC Santa Barbara is one of my top choices and I'm curious about the average SAT score of students admitted there. Does anyone know the average score or at least a range I should aim for? Thanks a lot.
Hello! It's essential to keep in mind that UC Santa Barbara, along with all other UC schools, has adopted a test-blind policy, which means SAT and ACT scores are no longer considered during the admission process.
To be a competitive applicant, focus on maintaining a high GPA, enrolling in rigorous courses like AP or IB classes, and engaging in meaningful extracurricular activities where you exhibit curiosity, dedication, and leadership.
Just remember, your application as a whole is essential, with multiple factors coming into play, including your essays, letters of recommendation, and extracurricular involvement. Good luck with your application process!
