SOU SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 980–1200 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math)
• Average Score: Approximately 1090
• 75th Percentile: Around 1200, meaning 25% of admitted students score above this mark

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are optional for admission to Southern Oregon University (SOU) due to test-optional policies, though submitting scores can strengthen an application.
• SOU evaluates scores as part of a holistic review process, with no strict minimum threshold, focusing on overall academic performance.
• Southern Oregon University does 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 to demonstrate college readiness if SAT scores are not submitted.
• Applicants are encouraged to aim for an SAT score of at least 1100–1200 to be competitive among other candidates at Southern Oregon University.
