Hey y'all, I'm currently a junior and starting to look at colleges. I was wondering if anyone knows what the SAT requirements are for Sam Houston State University? I'd really appreciate the info, thanks in advance!
Hello! Sam Houston State University (SHSU) is test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle, meaning you don't have to submit your SAT scores for your application to be considered. However, if you've taken the SAT and feel that your scores will strengthen your application, you can still include them.
While the university doesn't have strict SAT score requirements, you can look at the middle 50% of admitted students' SAT scores to get a better idea of the score range for those who chose to submit. In the past, the middle 50% range for SHSU was roughly 960–1130. Keep in mind that being within or above this range can give you a competitive edge, but a score below the range doesn't automatically disqualify you.
Remember, SHSU will review other aspects of your application as well, including your high school GPA, coursework, extracurricular activities, and essays, when making admissions decisions. Good luck with your college search and application process!
