Pretty stressed about my SAT scores compared to UConn's average... I ended up with a 1200 and I'm not sure if that's gonna cut it. Can anyone tell me what the average SAT score is for UConn admission?
Sure, I can help provide an idea.
As per the most recent data available, the middle 50% SAT range for admitted students at UConn is approximately 1220-1440. This represents the middle half of admitted students, meaning that 25% of students got below this range and 25% of students got above this range.
Remember, a "good" SAT score for UConn really depends on the strength of the rest of your application, particularly your high school courses and grades, extracurricular activities, and essays. A slightly below-average SAT score like a 1200 could be balanced by strong performance in these other areas.
If you're close to the range and have a strong rest of your application, don’t let these numbers discourage you. It's also important to remember that several schools, including UConn, have adopted test-optional policies due to the ongoing pandemic, providing students a choice whether or not to submit their test scores.
Keep in mind that these numbers are just averages. Just because your score might be below the average doesn’t mean you'll be outright rejected. Your SAT score is just one part of your application. The admissions officers will consider all aspects of your application when making their decision.
I hope this information is helpful, and best of luck with your application!
