Hey there, I'm trying to find out what the average SAT score is for students admitted to the University of Massachusetts. Also, what would you consider a competitive SAT score for admissions? Thanks in advance!
Hello! The University of Massachusetts-Amherst (UMass), which is the flagship campus of the UMass system, currently has an average range of 1330-1490.
This is the middle 50% score range, meaning 25% of admitted students score below a 1330 and 25% score above a 1490. To be considered competitive, you should aim for an SAT score at or above the upper end of this range.
Keep in mind that UMass also practices a holistic admissions process, meaning they take into consideration factors beyond test scores, such as grade point average (GPA), course rigor, extracurricular activities, and your personal statement. A strong overall application can help compensate for test scores that are slightly below the competitive range.
Best of luck with your application!
