Syracuse SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 1260–1430 (middle 50% of admitted students)
• Average Score: Approximately 1340
• 75th Percentile: Around 1430, meaning top applicants often score at or above this mark

Key Points:

• Syracuse University (SU) has a test-optional policy, meaning SAT or ACT scores are not required for admission, though submitting strong scores can enhance an application.
• Scores are evaluated holistically, alongside academic performance and other application materials, rather than as a strict threshold.
• SU practices superscoring for the SAT, combining the highest section scores from multiple test dates to create the best possible composite score.
• Alternatives such as Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) scores may be considered for academic credit but are not substitutes for SAT in admissions.
• Applicants are recommended to aim for an SAT score of at least 1340 or higher to be competitive for admission to Syracuse University.
