Hello, everyone. I want to apply to Florida Atlantic University (FAU), but I'm not certain about the SAT score barrier. Can anybody guide me on this?
Sure, happy to help! Florida Atlantic University (FAU) is relatively moderate when it comes to SAT scores. The middle 50% SAT range for FAU is usually between 1090 and 1280. This means that half of all admitted students had SAT scores within this range. About 25% of admitted students had scores below this range and 25% had scores above this range.
It's important to remember that your SAT score is only one part of your application. FAU, like many universities, reviews applications holistically. They'll consider your academic performance, extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, and personal essay, among other factors.
However, having an SAT score that falls within or above the middle 50% range can strengthen your application and increase your chances of admission. If your score falls below the range, don't despair! It doesn't mean that admission is impossible, as the university will have admitted some students with scores below the middle 50% range. Make sure to showcase your strengths in other areas of your application. Best of luck with your application process!
