Anybody has an idea about the SAT score ranges for universities in Florida? I'm thinking of applying to a few down there and I'd like to know where my scores would land.
Sure, I can provide you with a list of a few popular universities in Florida and their middle 50% SAT score ranges from the 2023-2024 applications cycle. However, keep in mind that these scores are not cut-offs, and admissions offices consider many factors beyond just test scores. Here we go:
1. University of Florida: 1320-1470
2. Florida State University: 1250-1380
3. University of Miami: 1340-1450
4. University of Central Florida: 1200-1340
5. Florida International University: 1060-1240
6. University of South Florida: 1140-1330
7. Florida Atlantic University: 1050-1210
These numbers represent the middle 50% range, which means 25% of admitted students scored below this range, 25% scored above it, and the remaining 50% fell within this range.
While being within or above this range will boost your odds of acceptance, no score will guarantee admission, and being below this range doesn't automatically equal rejection. Apart from test scores, universities look at factors like your GPA, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation as well. So, you'll want to make sure these other areas are strong, regardless of your SAT score.
