Michigan State admissions - SAT score recommendations?

Hello all! I've been considering Michigan State as one of my top choices, but I'm unsure about what SAT scores they generally accept. Could anyone provide some insights into what range I should aim for?

Hello! Michigan State University (MSU) has a fairly wide range of accepted SAT scores, but I can provide you with their middle 50% range to give you a better idea of what to aim for. For the 2023 freshman class, the middle 50% SAT scores ranged from 1110 to 1320. This means that 25% of accepted students scored below 1110, 50% scored within the 1110-1320 range, and another 25% scored above 1320.

While your SAT score is an important element of your application, remember that MSU also considers other factors such as your high school GPA, extracurricular activities, personal statement, and recommendation letters. So, even if your SAT score is a bit below the middle 50% range, a strong and well-rounded application can still give you a good shot at getting in.

However, having a score within or above that 1110-1320 range can put you in a competitive position. To increase your chances of standing out amongst applicants, try to aim for at least a 1320 or even higher if possible. Keep in mind that there is no specific "recommended" SAT score, but targeting the upper end of the middle 50% range or higher can potentially boost your chances of acceptance.

Good luck with your preparations and application to Michigan State!
