SAT requirements for UTD?

Hey all, I've got the SATs coming up and I'm pretty stressed. Applying to University of Texas at Dallas and wanted to know if anyone has an idea about what their SAT requirements are. Thanks!

For the 2024-2025 application cycle, University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas) is test-optional. This means the university gives you the option to submit your SAT scores, but not doing so will not negatively impact your application. The choice to send your scores or not will largely depend on your individual circumstances and overall application strength.

If your SAT score is strong compared to the middle 50% score range of recently admitted students and you feel it accurately represents your academic abilities, you might consider submitting the score. Typically, a strong SAT score for UT Dallas would be one that falls in the upper half of the middle 50% range of accepted students. For UT Dallas, the middle 50% SAT score range for admitted students was between 1180 and 1400 in 2023, but remember, these ranges may shift slightly year by year.

However, if your score falls below the bottom of this range, or if you feel your score does not reflect your academic abilities, you don't necessarily need to submit it since UT Dallas is test-optional. In this case, they'll place more weight on other parts of your application, such as your GPA, course rigor, letters of recommendation, essays, and extracurriculars.

If you have other questions about your application process, you can check out the guide on UTD's website: https://enroll.utdallas.edu/freshman/application-process/. It walks you through each step, for the easiest application process possible.

Ultimately, the decision to submit your SAT scores is up to you. Best of luck with your SATs and your application to UT Dallas!
