Hey guys, as I'm preparing for the SAT, I'd like to know what SAT scores BYU typically looks for in applicants. Can anyone share any information on their score requirements or an accepted student's average score?
While Brigham Young University (BYU) doesn't have a strict minimum SAT score requirement, it's still helpful to understand where your scores may fall in relation to the middle 50% of admitted students. For BYU, the middle 50% SAT score range for admitted students is approximately 1280 to 1450. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 1280 and 25% scored above 1450. Achieving a score within or above this range can make your application more competitive.
Keep in mind that admissions are holistic, which means they consider other factors like GPA, extracurricular activities, and essays, in addition to your test scores. While having a strong SAT score is helpful, you should also focus on showcasing your strengths in other areas of your application.
