UCCS SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 1020–1230 (based on recent admissions data for the middle 50% of admitted students)
• Average Score: Approximately 1120, reflecting the typical performance of incoming freshmen at UCCS
• Percentile: Scoring at or above the 75th percentile (around 1230) can strengthen an application significantly

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are currently optional at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs due to test-optional policies, though submitting scores can enhance an application.
• Scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review process, with no strict minimum threshold, but higher scores improve admission chances.
• UCCS practices superscoring, combining the highest section scores from multiple SAT test dates to create the best possible composite score.
• Alternatives such as strong AP or IB test results can bolster an application, especially for students opting not to submit SAT scores.
• Applicants are recommended to aim for an SAT score of at least 1120–1230 to align with the average or above-average admitted student profile at UCCS.
