Well, here's the thing guys. I'm aiming for UCF, but I really don't have any idea what SAT score they look for. Can someone let me know about their SAT requirements?
Sure, happy to help! While UCF has chosen not to publish a strict SAT minimum score, they provide the details of the middle 50% range of accepted students to give applicants a sense of where they might want to be score-wise. Generally speaking, a competitive SAT score for UCF based on the most recent data tends to fall within the range of 1270 - 1390. This means that 50% of enrolled students at UCF have SAT scores within this range.
However, I want to emphasize that meeting or exceeding this range does not guarantee admission, as UCF takes a holistic approach to application review. This includes your high school courses and grades, your involvement in activities and clubs, and your essays, among other factors. So while a strong SAT score can certainly enhance your application, pay attention to the other parts of the application as well.
Finally, remember that if your SAT score isn't as high as you'd like it to be, there's no harm in retaking the test. Many students find that their scores improve the second or third time around. Aim to dedicate more time to preparation focusing especially on sections where you didn't perform as well.
Happy preparing, and good luck with your application!
