CBU SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 990–1210 (based on recent admissions data for the middle 50% of admitted students at California Baptist University)
• Average Score: Approximately 1100, reflecting the typical performance of successful CBU applicants
• 75th Percentile: Around 1210, meaning top-performing admitted students often score at or above this threshold

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are not strictly required at California Baptist University, as CBU has adopted a test-optional policy for many applicants; however, submitting scores can strengthen an application.
• Scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review process at CBU, with no strict minimum threshold, though competitive scores align with the reported ranges.
• California Baptist University does practice superscoring for the SAT, combining the highest section scores from multiple test dates to create the best possible composite score.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores may be considered for admissions or placement purposes, though they do not replace SAT/ACT scores if submitted.
• Prospective students are encouraged to aim for an SAT score of at least 1100–1210 to be competitive for admission to California Baptist University, especially for selective programs.
