I'm really interested in attending Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University for its renowned aerospace engineering program. What are the typical SAT scores for students who get accepted there?
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is well-known for its aerospace engineering program, and it's great that you're considering it. To give you an idea of the typical SAT scores for accepted students, let's look at the middle 50% ranges:
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Daytona Beach Campus:
- SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing: 560-660
- SAT Math: 570-680
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Prescott Campus:
- SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing: 570-670
- SAT Math: 600-680
These middle 50% ranges mean that 50% of the admitted students scored within these ranges, with 25% of students scoring below and 25% scoring above. While your SAT score is an important factor in the admissions process, keep in mind that Embry-Riddle, like many universities, uses a holistic review process and will consider your entire application, including your grades, courses taken, extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, and essays. A strong SAT score can increase your chances of getting accepted, but it's just one piece of the puzzle.
Finally, it's worth noting that Embry-Riddle is officially test-optional, so you actually are not required to submit an SAT (or ACT) score. However, you're smart to still be thinking about target SAT scores, as there can still be instances where including a standardized test score with your application can be a good idea.
