Hello everyone, I'm a junior in high school and I'm eyeballing Auburn University as a potential choice. Does anyone know what their SAT requirements are? I'm trying to figure out my chances and what I should aim for. Thanks!
Auburn University, like many universities, does not have a strict threshold for SAT scores, but they do provide a range to give potential applicants an idea of the competitive landscape. For the Fall 2023 freshman class, the mid 50% SAT range for admitted students was between 1260 and 1380. These numbers only represent 25th to 75th percentile of admitted students, meaning 25% of admitted students had scores below this range and 25% had scores above.
Remember, although test scores are an important aspect of your application, they are just one piece of the puzzle. Every year, Auburn University admits students with a wide range of test scores. Your grades, course rigor, extracurriculars, and essays also play a significant role in the admission decision. It's always beneficial to aim for a higher score, as it can improve your chances, especially if the other aspects of your application are on par with Auburn's typical admittee.
