Hello! Vanderbilt University is a highly selective school, so strong SAT scores can be an important part of your application. Historically, the middle 50% range for SAT scores of admitted students has been around 1500 to 1560. If you're aiming to be a competitive applicant, it's wise to aim for a score within this range or higher.

Keep in mind that standardized test scores are just one aspect of your application. Vanderbilt also considers your GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation. While a high SAT score can be a significant asset to your application, it's essential to focus on other areas as well to present a strong and well-rounded application to the admissions committee.

Lastly, don't forget to check for updates on Vanderbilt's standardized testing policies, as some colleges have adopted test-optional policies in recent years. Good luck with your application!
