Hello! I am considering applying to the US Naval Academy for college. I was just wondering if anyone here knows the average SAT scores for admitted students? I want to gauge my chances of getting in. Thanks for the help!
Hello! The United States Naval Academy (USNA) is a highly competitive institution, and a strong SAT score can certainly play a role in your application. For the incoming class of 2024, the middle 50% SAT score range for admitted students was:
- Evidence-Based Reading and Writing: 600-700
- Math: 600-700
This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 600 on Reading and Writing, 75% scored below 700, 25% scored below 622 on Math, and 75% scored below 735. If your SAT score falls within or above this range, it'll likely be considered competitive for the USNA.
Keep in mind, admissions to service academies, like the Naval Academy, are holistic and depend on more than just your SAT score. They will also evaluate your GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, and your physical fitness assessment, among other factors. Additionally, the application process includes obtaining a nomination, usually from a member of Congress, which adds a unique aspect to the process.
Best of luck in your college journey and your pursuit of the US Naval Academy!
