Hi all! Currently studying hard for my SAT and UNC is on my radar. Just wondering, does anyone have info on what the average SAT score is for students accepted to UNC?
Hi there! The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC Chapel Hill), while test optional until 2025-26, is quite competitive when it comes to SAT scores. While the university does not officially publish an average SAT score for its admitted students, data suggests that the middle 50% of successful applicants typically have scores ranging from 1370-1500.
Remember, though, that these are just averages and many students with scores on either side of this range are admitted. Your SAT score is just one part of your application and UNC will consider other factors such as class rigor, GPA, extracurriculars, essays, and recommendations as well.
Keep hitting those books, and best of luck with your SAT and your application to UNC!
