Hello! I've been looking into SCAD and trying to understand their SAT requirements. Can someone please clarify what the SAT score expectations are for admission? Thank you!
Hello! The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) is test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle, which means that you are not required to submit SAT scores as part of your application. However, if you feel that your test scores are a strong part of your application profile, you are welcome to submit them.
If you've taken the SAT and you want to gauge whether your score might be competitive or not, you can consider the average SAT score of enrolled students from past years. In the past, the middle 50% range for enrolled SCAD students has been around 1050-1260 out of 1600. Keep in mind that these numbers are just a rough guide and not strict requirements.
Ultimately, SCAD takes a holistic approach to reviewing applications, so it's essential to focus on other aspects like your essays, extracurricular activities, and portfolio in addition to your academic achievements. Since SCAD is focused on your artistic prowess, your SAT score may be less important than at a more traditional institution. But, of course, a high score certainly never hurts!
Good luck with your application!
