Hi everyone! I've been looking into UCF and can't seem to find current info on their test score requirements. What are their typical SAT or ACT scores for admitted students? My current SAT score is 1340, which I know isn't amazing, but I'm hoping it's enough if I have a well-rounded application.
Hello! As of the 2024-2025 application cycle, the University of Central Florida (UCF) is a test-optional institution, which means you can choose whether or not to submit your SAT or ACT scores. If you feel that your 1340 SAT score is an accurate representation of your academic abilities, you can include it in your application. If not, you can apply without submitting your test score, and UCF will place more emphasis on other aspects of your application, such as your GPA, course rigor, extracurricular involvement, and essays.
For reference, the middle 50% SAT scores for admitted students in recent years have ranged from 1250 to 1390. Your 1340 SAT score falls within this range, which suggests that you're academically competitive for UCF. However, keep in mind that UCF has a holistic review process, so having a strong application in other areas will only bolster your chances.
To further strengthen your application, focus on crafting compelling essays and showcasing your unique qualities through your extracurricular involvements or special talents. Good luck with your application!
