Hey guys, I'm interested in applying to Binghamton University and I'm curious about their SAT score requirements. Does anyone know their average SAT score ranges, or if going test-optional is a better option for me?
Hey there! Binghamton University does consider SAT scores in their holistic admissions process, but they also offer the test-optional route for students who feel that their scores don't accurately represent their abilities. The choice of going test-optional really depends on your individual circumstances.
To give you some context for SAT scores at Binghamton, the middle 50% SAT score range for admitted students typically falls between 1300 and 1450. If your score falls within or above this range, submitting it could potentially strengthen your application. However, if your SAT score is below the lower end of this range, opting for test-optional might be a better choice, as long as the other aspects of your application (such as GPA, extracurriculars, and essays) are strong.
Ultimately, the decision to submit your SAT score or go test-optional will depend on your personal preferences, how well you feel your score reflects your potential, and how competitive the rest of your application is. Good luck with your application to Binghamton University!
