Hi all! I'm starting to look into colleges, and Arizona State University has caught my eye. What would be considered a good SAT score for ASU? I'm a little stressed since I'm aiming for at least the school's average score. Thanks!
Hello! It's always good to set goals when preparing for college admissions. The average SAT score for incoming students at Arizona State University (ASU) is around 1120 – 1370. This range represents the middle 50% of enrolled first-year students, meaning that 25% of students scored below 1120, and 25% scored above 1370. Keep in mind that ASU has a test-optional policy, so you have the option to not submit your SAT scores if you feel they don't accurately represent your potential.
Although hitting the school's average SAT score is important, it's crucial not to overlook other aspects of your application, such as your grade point average (GPA), extracurricular involvement, and essays. ASU has a holistic admissions process, meaning that they look at applicants' whole profile, rather than just basing their decision on test scores alone. So, while keeping your SAT score in mind, stay focused on creating a well-rounded application.
Best of luck with your college preparations and application process!
