Hey guys! I have my eyes on the University of Denver, and I'm wondering if anyone knows the average or minimum SAT scores they're looking for in their applicants? Any other general info about their admissions process would be helpful too! Thanks!
The University of Denver (DU) has adopted a test-optional policy, so you are not required to submit SAT or ACT scores as part of your application. However, if you believe your test scores will strengthen your application, you can choose to submit them.
For reference, the middle 50% of admitted students who provided test scores in recent years had SAT scores ranging from approximately 1180 to 1370. While there is no official minimum score, aiming for a score within or above this range will generally make your application more competitive.
It's important to note that DU considers multiple factors when reviewing applications. Some aspects they'll look at include your high school transcript, GPA, rigor of coursework, extracurricular involvement, personal essays, and recommendation letters. Make sure to present a strong, well-rounded application that showcases your strengths and interests to increase your chances of admission.
Best of luck with your application to the University of Denver!
