Hey there! I'm a junior considering DePaul University as one of my top choices. I'm curious about their SAT requirements, do they have a minimum score I should aim for or is it test-optional? Any advice would be much appreciated!
Hey! DePaul University is indeed test-optional, which means you don't necessarily have to submit an SAT score as part of your application. However, if you believe your SAT score can strengthen your application and showcase your academic abilities, you can still choose to submit it.
It's important to remember that test scores are just one factor in the admissions process, and DePaul will review other aspects of your application, such as your GPA, coursework, extracurricular activities, and essays. This holistic approach helps admissions officers evaluate applicants more comprehensively.
So, given that DePaul is test-optional, there's no specific minimum SAT score you need to aim for. However, if you want to have an idea of the competitive range for admitted students, the middle 50% of accepted students generally have SAT scores between 1050-1240. Being within or above this range could be beneficial, but ultimately, it's just one part of a broader application evaluation.
Good luck with your application process to DePaul, and remember to focus on showcasing your strengths and unique qualities throughout your application!
