Hello! I'm thinking about applying to the City College of New York (CCNY), but I'm not sure about their SAT requirements. Can anyone provide info on what SAT scores they typically accept or if there's a minimum score needed? Thanks a lot!
City College of New York (CCNY) is currently test-optional, which means that submission of SAT scores is not required for the 2024-2025 application cycle. If you feel that your SAT scores accurately represent your abilities and will strengthen your application, you can choose to submit them, but they are not mandatory.
However, if you still want to provide your SAT scores, it helps to understand the typical score range for accepted students to gauge your chances. Before the test-optional policy, the middle 50% SAT score range for admitted students at CCNY was around 1080 to 1280. This means that 25% of students scored below 1080, and 25% scored above 1280. Keep in mind that these numbers are from previous years and are not strict requirements, as CCNY evaluates applications holistically.
In summary, you don't need to submit SAT scores to apply to CCNY, but if you think your scores will enhance your application or are competitive based on the historical range, feel free to include them. Focus on showcasing your strengths, academic achievements, and extracurricular involvement to make your application stand out. Good luck!
