Hey guys, I'm planning to apply to George Washington University next year but I'm not sure about their standardized testing policy. Anyone knows what SAT score is typically considered good for George Washington?
George Washington University adopted a test-optional policy back in 2015 and it continues to be in place even in the 2024-2025 application cycle. This means that you can choose whether or not to submit your SAT scores as part of your application. They'll review your application holistically, focusing on your academic performance in school, the rigor of your curriculum, your extra-curricular activities, essays, recommendations, and any additional information you provide.
So, there is no "required" SAT score as such. However, if you're curious about their general test score range and want to sit the SAT for other schools or for scholarships, it can be helpful to know that in past years George Washington University had the middle 50% SAT range around 1280-1420.
But remember, these are just averages. Admission is based on much more than test scores alone. For example, your GPA, rigor of your classes, and involvement in extracurricular activities will all be factors. Writing compelling essays and getting strong letters of recommendation can also significantly boost your application profile.
