Hey fellow applicants! I am planning to apply to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and I was wondering what kind of SAT scores are competitive for admission? Like, what's considered a good score for UIUC?
Hey there! Let me help you get a better understanding of the SAT scores for UIUC. Typically competitive SAT scores fall within the middle 50% of admitted students' scores at UIUC. To give you some context, the middle 50% range of SAT scores for admitted students from the past three years averages to 1400-1530.
Keep in mind that this range is an indicator of scores for most admitted students, but not an absolute requirement. Students who have scores that fall outside this range could still be admitted or denied based on other factors in their application. UIUC uses a holistic review process, meaning that they consider multiple aspects of your application, such as your GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, and essays.
So, while aiming for a score within or above the middle 50% range is a good goal to have, remember that a strong application will take into account more than just your test scores. Good luck with your application! Remember to showcase your strengths in other areas as well, and try not to stress too much about the numbers.
