Hey guys, I've been considering applying to West Point and I want to know how competitive my SAT score should be. Anyone know what the average score is for admitted students? Grateful for any help!
Hi there! West Point (United States Military Academy) is a highly competitive institution, and having a strong SAT score can certainly boost your chances of admission. While they don't provide a specific "average SAT score" for admitted students, they do share some score ranges to give you an idea of what successful applicants typically have.
For the Class of 2025, West Point reported that admitted students scored between 618-682 on the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) section and between 624-692 on the Math section. So, to be considered a competitive applicant, it's a good idea to aim for scores within these ranges or even higher. Keep in mind, though, that West Point looks at the whole application, not just test scores. It's important to have a strong academic record, demonstrate leadership potential, and participate in extracurricular activities, particularly those related to physical fitness and service.
Best of luck with your application!
