ETSU SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 920–1170 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math)
• Average Score: Approximately 1050
• 75th Percentile: Around 1170, meaning 25% of admitted students score above this mark

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are currently optional for admission to East Tennessee State University (ETSU) due to test-optional policies, though submitting scores can strengthen an application.
• ETSU evaluates scores as part of a holistic review, with no strict minimum threshold, focusing on overall academic performance.
• East Tennessee State University practices superscoring, combining the highest section scores from multiple SAT test dates to create the best possible composite score.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores may be considered for placement or credit but are not substitutes for SAT/ACT in admissions.
• Applicants are encouraged to aim for an SAT score of at least 1050–1170 to be competitive for admission to ETSU, aligning with the average and upper percentile of admitted students.
