Hi everyone! I'm planning to apply to the University of Michigan and was wondering if they superscore SAT scores when evaluating applicants. Thanks in advance!
Hi there! When it comes to the University of Michigan's policy on SAT superscoring, they do in fact superscore the SAT. This means that they will take the highest score from each section of the SAT (Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math) across multiple test dates and combine them into a new, higher superscore. This can be beneficial for you as an applicant, as it allows you to showcase your best performance in each section regardless of the test date.
Keep in mind, though, that while your superscore can have a positive impact, the admissions process at the University of Michigan, like most selective schools, is holistic. Admissions officers will consider various aspects of your application, including your coursework, extracurricular involvement, essays, and letters of recommendation. It's essential to focus on all parts of your application and make sure they are comprehensive and reflect your strengths.
Best of luck with your application to the University of Michigan!
