UND SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 1030–1250 (based on recent admissions data for the middle 50% of admitted students)
• Average Score: Approximately 1140, reflecting the typical performance of incoming freshmen at the University of North Dakota
• 75th Percentile: Around 1250, meaning top-performing applicants often score at or above this level

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are not strictly required at UND, as the university has adopted a test-optional policy for certain applicants; however, submitting scores is recommended.
• Scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review process, with no strict minimum threshold, though competitive scores enhance an application.
• The University of North Dakota practices superscoring, combining the highest section scores from multiple SAT test dates to create the best possible composite score.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores may be considered for placement or credit but are not direct substitutes for SAT scores in admissions.
• Applicants are encouraged to aim for an SAT score of at least 1140 or higher to align with the average at UND and improve their chances of admission.
