What's up peeps! I've got my eyes set on UC Berkeley and I was wondering what the average SAT score for admitted students is? Just trying to gauge where I stand so any input would be super helpful!
Hey there! UC Berkeley is an excellent choice, and it's great that you're considering SAT scores as a part of your application. Keep in mind that UC Berkeley, along with all other UC schools, has decided to adopt a test-blind policy, meaning that they do not consider SAT or ACT scores during the admissions process. This significant change in their admissions policy began in the 2021-2022 application cycle.
That being said, if you're still curious about historical data, the middle 50% of admitted students for the class of 2024 had SAT scores between 1350 and 1530. However, because UC Berkeley is now test-blind, it's essential to focus on other aspects of your application, such as your GPA, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation, which will play a more prominent role in the admissions process. Good luck with your application!
