Hi everyone, I'm considering applying to Caltech and I want to know what the average SAT score is for accepted students. Can anyone provide me with this information? Thanks!
Hi! Caltech is a highly selective institution, and as such, it has high expectations for students' standardized test scores. The middle 50% range for SAT scores of accepted students at Caltech is typically between 1530 and 1570. This means that 25% of enrolled students scored below 1530, and another 25% scored above 1570.
To be a competitive applicant, aiming for a score within or above this range would be ideal. However, it's important to remember that your SAT score is just one aspect of your application, and Caltech employs a holistic admissions process that takes into account many factors, including your high school coursework, grades, extracurricular activities, essays, and recommendations.
Best of luck with your application to Caltech!
