SCSU SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 900–1100 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math)
• Average Score: Approximately 1000
• 75th Percentile: Around 1100, meaning 25% of admitted students score above this mark

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are optional for most applicants at Southern Connecticut State University due to test-optional policies implemented in recent years.
• When submitted, SAT scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review process at SCSU, alongside academic performance and personal achievements.
• SCSU does practice superscoring, combining the highest section scores from multiple SAT test dates to create the best possible composite score.
• Alternatives such as Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) scores may be considered for placement or credit but are not direct substitutes for SAT scores in admissions.
• For competitive applications, prospective students should aim for an SAT score of at least 1000–1100 to align with or exceed the average at Southern Connecticut State University.
