HU SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 980–1160 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math)

• Percentile: Middle 50% of admitted students fall within the 25th to 75th percentile of SAT scores

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are currently optional for admission to Hampton University (HU) due to test-optional policies implemented in recent years, though submitting scores can strengthen an application.
• Scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review process, considering GPA, coursework rigor, and other achievements alongside test results.
• Hampton University practices superscoring, meaning the highest section scores from multiple SAT test dates are combined to create the best possible composite score.
• Alternatives such as Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) scores may be considered for admission or placement purposes if SAT scores are not submitted.
• Prospective students are encouraged to aim for an SAT score of at least 1100 or higher to be competitive for admission to HU, especially for merit-based scholarships.
