UHD SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 920–1100 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math)
• Average Score: Approximately 1000
• 75th Percentile: Around 1100, meaning top admitted students score at or above this mark

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are required for most first-time freshmen at the University of Houston - Downtown (UHD), though test-optional policies may apply under specific circumstances.
• Scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review process, considering GPA, class rank, and other academic achievements.
• UHD does not officially superscore SAT results, so the highest single sitting score is typically considered.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores may be used for placement or credit but are not substitutes for SAT/ACT in admissions.
• Applicants are encouraged to aim for an SAT score of at least 1000–1100 to be competitive for admission to the University of Houston - Downtown.
