Hello! I'm planning to apply to TCU next year and wanted to know more about their SAT score expectations. Does anyone know the average SAT score range for incoming freshmen and if TCU is test-optional or requiring test scores for future applicants? Thank you!
Hello! Texas Christian University (TCU) provides information on the SAT score range of its enrolled students. For the middle 50% of accepted freshmen, the SAT scores typically fall between 1160 and 1370. Keep in mind that this means 25% of students scored below 1160 and 25% scored above 1370, so there is a range of scores that can lead to successful admission.
As for test policy, TCU is currently test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle. This means that you can choose whether or not to submit your SAT or ACT scores. If you feel that your test scores accurately represent your academic abilities and would strengthen your application, you can submit them. On the other hand, if you believe that your test scores don't showcase your full potential, you can decide not to include them, and your application will still be considered holistically alongside other components like your high school grades, extracurricular activities, and essays.
Remember, admissions decisions are based on a variety of factors, so it's essential to focus on developing a well-rounded and compelling application. Good luck with your admissions journey!
