Hey everyone, does anyone have an idea what the updated average SAT score is for an admitted student at Columbia Uni? I'm really keen on applying there and I want to see where I stand.
Columbia University's admitted students typically have SAT scores that fall within the top percentiles. Based on the most recent data, the middle 50% range for the SAT at Columbia is around 1480-1580. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below a 1480, while another 25% scored above a 1580.
Keep in mind that these are only averages, and there are students who fall outside of these ranges who are admitted to Columbia every year. Alongside standardised testing, the university also puts a substantial weight on aspects like GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, and essays. So even if your SAT score is slightly below Columbia's average, a particularly strong application in other areas can still make you a competitive candidate!
