Hey all, currently stressed junior here. I've been researching UT Arlington, and I really need some clarity on their SAT requirements. Are there any minimum scores needed or particular score ranges they're looking for? Any helpful advice would be much appreciated!
Hey there! Don't stress too much; I'm happy to help clarify UT Arlington's SAT requirements for you. UT Arlington does not have any strict minimum SAT scores for admissions. Instead, they use a holistic approach to evaluate applicants, which means that your SAT scores are just one part of the bigger picture - they'll also look at your GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, and so on.
However, to give you an idea of the average SAT scores of accepted students, the middle 50% of accepted students at UT Arlington typically score between 1080 and 1300. Knowing this range can help you understand where you might fit within the applicant pool. Keep in mind that the standards may be higher for certain majors or programs.
It's also worth noting that UT Arlington is officially test-optional, so you actually don't have to submit an SAT (or ACT) score. However, there can still be instances where including a test score with your application can be a good idea. For detailed guidance on how to navigate test-optional policies, check out this blog post from CollegeVine: https://blog.collegevine.com/does-test-optional-mean-test-optional
I hope this information helps relieve some of your stress. Best of luck with your college applications!
