CSUEB SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 890–1100 (based on recent admissions data for the middle 50% of admitted students)
• Average Score: Approximately 1000 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math)
• 75th Percentile: Around 1100, meaning top admitted students often score at or above this mark

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are currently optional for admission to California State University, East Bay due to test-optional policies implemented in recent years.
• When submitted, SAT scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review process, not as a sole determining factor for admission at CSUEB.
• CSUEB does not officially superscore SAT results, so applicants should submit their highest single-sitting score.
• Alternatives such as Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) test scores may be considered for college credit or placement, though they do not replace SAT scores in admissions.
• For a competitive edge, prospective students applying to California State University, East Bay should aim for an SAT score of 1000 or higher to align with the average of admitted students.
