UA SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 1020–1230 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing + Math)
• Average Score: Approximately 1120, based on recent admitted student data for UA campuses
• 75th Percentile: Around 1230, meaning top-performing applicants often score at or above this level

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are not strictly required at all University of Alaska (System) campuses, as some have adopted test-optional policies; however, submitting scores is recommended.
• Scores are evaluated as part of a holistic admissions process at UA, with no strict minimum threshold but higher scores improving competitiveness.
• The University of Alaska (System) may superscore SAT results, combining the highest section scores from multiple 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 direct substitutes for SAT in admissions.
• Applicants aiming for admission to UA should target an SAT score of at least 1120 or higher to align with the average of admitted students.
