Hey you guys, quick query about UCF. I’m trying to figure out a good SAT score range that could increase my odds of getting in. Does anyone have an idea of what they typically look for?
Sure, happy to help clarify that for you. The University of Central Florida (UCF) is considered moderately competitive, and while they do have a holistic review process, SAT scores play a significant role.
In the most recent class, the middle 50% SAT scores for admitted students ranged from approximately 1200 to 1340. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below a 1200, 25% scored above a 1340, and 50% of students fell within that range.
If your SAT score falls within or above this range, it could potentially make you a more competitive applicant. However, remember that SAT scores are just one element of your overall application and UCF will be reviewing your GPA, course rigor, and extracurricular involvements as well.
It's important to take the time to ensure other aspects of your application, like your high school academic performance and extracurricular activities, stand out as well. Specifically focusing on activities that demonstrate your unique interests or specialties could be beneficial.
I hope this gives you a clearer picture of what UCF typically considers a good SAT score for their applicants. Good luck with your application!
