MSOE SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 1180–1380 (based on recent admissions data for the middle 50% of admitted students)
• Average Score: Approximately 1280, reflecting the typical performance of accepted applicants at MSOE
• Percentile: Scoring in the 75th percentile (around 1380) can position applicants more competitively for admission

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are currently optional at the Milwaukee School of Engineering due to test-optional policies, though submitting scores is recommended for scholarship consideration.
• MSOE evaluates scores as part of a holistic review process, considering them alongside GPA, coursework, and other factors rather than strict cutoffs.
• The university practices superscoring, meaning MSOE will combine 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 do not replace SAT/ACT in the admissions process.
• Applicants are encouraged to aim for an SAT score of at least 1280 or higher to align with the average admitted student profile at the Milwaukee School of Engineering.
