Hi there! I'm considering applying to Southern Methodist University and would like to get a better idea of what SAT scores they usually expect. Could anyone here share the general range or average SAT scores for admitted students at SMU? Thanks for the help!
Hello! Southern Methodist University (SMU) provides information about the middle 50% range of SAT scores for its admitted students. The middle 50% range means that 25% of students scored below this range, and 25% scored above it. For the Class of 2027 at SMU, the middle 50% range for the SAT was approximately between 1360 and 1490.
Keep in mind that while standardized test scores are an important component of your application, SMU uses a holistic admissions review process, which considers other factors, such as your GPA, rigor of your high school curriculum, extracurricular activities, and essays. It's a good idea to aim for a strong SAT score that falls within or above the middle 50% range, but also focus on developing a well-rounded application to improve your chances of admission.
Good luck with your application to SMU!
