MTSU SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 990–1220 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math)
• Average Score: Approximately 1100
• 75th Percentile: Around 1220, meaning 25% of admitted students score above this mark

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are required for most freshman applicants to Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), though test-optional policies may apply for certain programs or circumstances.
• Scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review process, with no strict minimum but a preference for meeting or exceeding the average score of admitted students.
• MTSU does practice 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 the admissions process.
• Applicants are encouraged to aim for an SAT score of at least 1100–1220 to be competitive for admission to Middle Tennessee State University.
