University of Delaware: SAT requirements?

Hey guys! I'm looking into applying to the University of Delaware (UDel) and was wondering about their SAT requirements. Is there a minimum score I should be aiming for? Any information would be greatly appreciated!

For the University of Delaware (UDel), there isn't a strict minimum SAT score requirement, but it's essential to be competitive among other applicants.

To give you an idea of typical admitted students' scores, the middle 50% range for the SAT at UDel is between 1260-1410, according to their recent data. This statistic means that 25% of students scored below 1260, while 25% scored above 1410, and the majority of admitted students fell in that middle range. Keep in mind that these are general trends, and there isn't a guaranteed threshold or cut-offs.

As an applicant, you should aim for a score that's within or above this middle 50% range. However, if your SAT score falls below the lower end, don't give up hope! Having strong grades, extracurriculars, and a well-crafted personal statement might help compensate for it. Remember that admissions are holistic, and UDel will consider your application's other aspects as well.

Lastly, note that UDel is test-optional, which means you have the choice not to submit your SAT scores if you feel that they don't accurately represent your academic potential. In that case, other aspects of your application will hold more weight in the admissions process, so ensure that the rest of your application is strong if you're applying test-optional.

If you're unsure whether submitting your test scores would be a good idea, and want further guidance on how to navigate test-optional policies, I'd recommend checking out this blog post from CollegeVine: https://blog.collegevine.com/does-test-optional-mean-test-optional/.

Good luck with your application to the University of Delaware!
