What are the SAT score requirements for applying to Cornell University?

Hi there! I'm a junior and I've been looking into applying to Cornell University next year. I was just wondering if anyone knows what the SAT score requirements are for admissions? What's a competitive score range for applicants? Thanks in advance!

There is no absolute SAT score requirement for applying to Cornell University, as they have a holistic admissions process. However, it's important to have a competitive score to increase your chances of being admitted.

For the 2024-2025 application cycle, Cornell is once again requiring applicants to submit test scores. To be in a competitive range, you should look at the middle 50% range of admitted students. Based on recent data, the middle 50% of admitted students had an SAT score between 1480 and 1550. This means that around 25% of admitted applicants scored below a 1480, and around 25% scored above a 1550. While it's not a requirement to be in this range, having a score within or above this range may increase your chances of admission.

Keep in mind that having a strong SAT score is only one aspect of your application. Cornell will also consider your GPA, rigor of coursework, extracurricular activities, essays, and recommendation letters. Focus on building a well-rounded application to maximize your chances of being admitted. Good luck!
