Hello fellow applicants! I'm interested in the University of San Diego and I want to know the range of SAT scores that usually get accepted there. Can anybody help me out?
Hello! The University of San Diego (USD) is a moderately selective school, and knowing the range of SAT scores of accepted students can help you determine if your scores will be competitive. While USD is test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle (meaning you can choose whether or not to submit your SAT scores), it's still helpful to know the average scores if you decide to submit them.
For the class of 2024, before USD went test-optional, the middle 50% SAT score ranged from 1190 to 1330. This means that 25% of students scored below 1190, 25% scored above 1330, and 50% of the students scored between those two values. You'll have a solid shot at being considered for admission if your SAT score falls within this range or above.
Keep in mind that SAT scores are only one part of the application. USD will also consider your high school GPA, extracurricular activities, essays, and other factors in their holistic review process. Good luck with your application!
