Hey, does anyone know the SAT requirements for Syracuse University? Is there a cutoff or do they have a threshold score below which you're unlikely to get accepted?
Syracuse University is actually test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle, so it does not require applicants to submit SAT or ACT scores. Their admissions office has made the decision in recent times to focus more on a student's academic performance in high school, as well as their personal qualities and potential for success in college.
However, if you still choose to submit your SAT scores, Syracuse University, in past years, had a middle 50% SAT range of roughly 1280-1410 for accepted students. This means that 25% of students scored below 1280 and 25% scored above 1410. While there's no official score cutoff, being within or above this range could potentially make your application more competitive if you decide to submit your test score.
Remember, Syracuse takes a holistic approach to applications, so your grades, extracurricular involvement, essays, and recommendation letters all play significant roles in the admissions process.
