Hi friends, I'm in the process of finalizing my college list, and UC Davis is on it. I wanted to know what their SAT requirements are. Is there a minimum score I should aim for or an average range for admitted students? Thanks for your help!
Hello! The University of California system, including UC Davis, implemented a test-blind policy starting Fall 2021, which means they no longer review SAT or ACT scores as part of their admission process. This change is here to stay for the foreseeable future, so you do not need to worry about meeting any specific SAT requirement for UC Davis.
Instead, focus on strengthening other aspects of your application, such as your academic performance, extracurricular involvement, essays, and teacher recommendations. UC Davis will be evaluating your application based on the holistic review process, which considers multiple factors, including GPA, coursework rigor, and involvement outside of class. Good luck with the application process!
