Pacific SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 1120–1350 (based on recent admissions data for the middle 50% of admitted students)
• Average Score: Approximately 1230, reflecting the typical performance of incoming freshmen at UOP
• Percentile: Scoring at or above the 75th percentile (around 1350) can strengthen an application significantly

Key Points:

• The University of the Pacific (UOP) is test-optional, meaning SAT or ACT scores are not required for admission but are considered if submitted.
• Scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review, alongside academic records and personal achievements, rather than as strict thresholds.
• UOP practices superscoring for the SAT, combining the highest section scores from multiple test dates to create the best possible composite score.
• Alternatives such as Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) scores may also be considered to demonstrate academic strength.
• For a competitive edge, applicants should aim for an SAT score of 1300 or higher to align with or exceed the upper range of admitted students at the University of the Pacific.
