UN SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 1030–1250 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math)
• Average Score: Approximately 1140
• 75th Percentile: Around 1250, meaning top admitted students often score at or above this level

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are typically required for admission to most University of Nebraska (UN) campuses, though some programs may have test-optional policies.
• Scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review process, alongside GPA, coursework, and other application materials at the University of Nebraska (UN).
• The University of Nebraska (UN) System often practices superscoring, combining the highest section scores from multiple SAT test dates for a student’s best possible score.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores may be considered for placement or credit but are not typically substitutes for SAT/ACT in admissions.
• Applicants to the University of Nebraska (UN) should aim for an SAT score of at least 1140 to be competitive, with higher scores (closer to 1250) recommended for selective programs or campuses.
