Hi friends, I've been researching DePaul University and I'm curious about the usual SAT scores for students who get in. Can someone give me an idea of the SAT scores that would be competitive for DePaul? Thanks!
Hello! DePaul University is test-optional, which means you don't have to submit SAT or ACT scores if you don't want to. However, if you choose to submit your SAT scores, it's helpful to know the range of scores of admitted students to gauge your competitiveness. For the 2023 (and prior years) freshman class, the middle 50% SAT score range for admitted students was between 1070 and 1290.
To be more competitive, you may aim for an SAT score above 1300. However, it's important to remember that DePaul looks at your overall application, including your academics, extracurricular activities, and essays, so a compelling application can still be strong even if your SAT score is within or just below the middle 50% range.
Best of luck with your application!
