Hey everyone! I've been considering applying to the University of Connecticut, but I'm a bit concerned about my SAT score. Does anyone know what the average SAT score is for students who get accepted there? Any info would be much appreciated.
According to recent data, the middle 50% SAT score range for admitted students at the University of Connecticut (UConn) is between 1220 and 1400. This means that 25% of admitted students have an SAT score below 1220 while another 25% have a score above 1400. These scores consider the math and evidence-based reading and writing sections combined, as the writing section was discontinued in 2021.
Remember, while standardized test scores are an important component of the application, they are just one among many factors that are considered in holistic admissions like UConn's. Grades, course rigor, extracurricular activities, and essays also play a significant role. If your SAT scores are in the aforementioned range and the other components of your application are strong, you would have a reasonable shot at getting accepted.
However, it's good to bear in mind that these are just averages, and being within or even above this range doesn't guarantee admission, just as being slightly below doesn't necessarily mean a rejection.
I would encourage you to also focus on other parts of your application should your score not fall within this range. A compelling essay or a "spike" in your extracurriculars could certainly outweigh a less-than-preferred test score. Hope this helps, and best of luck with your applications!
