Hello, folks! I'm setting my sights on Vanderbilt, but I'm not sure where I fall within their SAT range. Does anybody know the typical range they accept? Thanks in advance!
Certainly! Vanderbilt University will continue its test optional policy through fall 2027. Scores from the ACT or SAT exams will not be required for students applying to enter the university for fall 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027. This applies to both first year and transfer students and includes international and homeschool students. When applying, students will indicate on their application whether they wish to be considered with or without ACT or SAT scores.
However, keep in mind that Vanderbilt takes a holistic approach to admissions. Other areas such as your GPA, coursework rigor, extracurricular involvement, essays, and letters of recommendation all play significant roles.
I hope this helps and best of luck with your application to Vanderbilt!
