What's up, guys? I'm looking into applying to Appalachian State University and I'm curious about their SAT requirements. Do they have a minimum score requirement, or a range of scores that they generally accept from applicants? Any insight on this would be amazing. Thanks!
Hey there! Appalachian State University does not have a strict minimum SAT score requirement for applicants. However, you can still get an idea of the typical scores of accepted students by looking at their 25th-75th percentile range, which can give you a good sense of where your own score should be.
For App State, the middle 50% range of admitted students is roughly between 1110 and 1270 on the SAT. Keep in mind, this means 25% of admitted students have scores below 1110 and another 25% have scores above 1270. While there isn't a specific cut-off point, it's advisable to aim for a score within or above this range to make your application more competitive.
Don't forget that colleges look at your application holistically, so a lower SAT score may be balanced out by strong grades, extracurricular activities, or personal essays. Conversely, a high score alone doesn't guarantee admission, so make sure to put your best effort into all aspects of your application.
Good luck with your application to Appalachian State University!
