NDUS SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 980–1200 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing + Math)
• Average Score: Approximately 1090 for admitted students across NDUS institutions
• 75th Percentile: Around 1200, meaning top applicants often score at or above this mark

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are typically required for admission to most North Dakota University System (NDUS) campuses, though some schools may have test-optional policies.
• Scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review process, considering GPA, extracurriculars, and other academic achievements.
• Some NDUS institutions may practice superscoring, combining the highest section scores from multiple SAT test dates for a better overall score.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores may be considered for placement or credit but are not typically substitutes for SAT/ACT requirements.
• Prospective students aiming for competitive admission to NDUS schools should target scores above the average of 1090, ideally nearing the 75th percentile of 1200.
