Hey y'all! I'm interested in applying to Tulane University, but I'm not sure what SAT score they typically look for in their applicants. Can anyone let me know what kind of score I should be aiming for to have a good chance at getting accepted into Tulane?
Hey there! Tulane University has adopted a test-optional policy for the 2024-2025 application cycle. This means that submitting SAT scores is not required, but you can still choose to submit your scores if you think they'll help your application.
That being said, if you decide to submit your SAT scores, it's helpful to know the middle 50% range of SAT scores for students admitted to Tulane in the past. For the class of 2027 (the last cycle before the test-optional policy), the middle 50% range was between 1400 and 1490. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1400, 50% scored between 1400 and 1490, and the remaining 25% scored above 1490.
To have a competitive SAT score for Tulane, aim to score within or above this range. However, keep in mind that Tulane also considers other factors in their admissions process, such as your high school GPA, extracurricular activities, and essays. A strong application with an emphasis on your achievements and experiences in these areas can help mitigate a lower SAT score. Good luck with your application!
