WOU SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 940–1140 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing + Math)
• Average Score: Approximately 1040
• 75th Percentile: Around 1140, meaning 25% of admitted students score above this mark

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are optional for most applicants at Western Oregon University, though they are recommended for a stronger application.
• WOU evaluates scores as part of a holistic review, alongside GPA and extracurriculars, rather than enforcing strict cutoffs.
• Western Oregon University does not currently have a superscoring policy for SAT scores; the highest single sitting is considered.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores may be considered for placement or credit but do not replace SAT/ACT in admissions.
• Applicants should aim for an SAT score of at least 1040–1140 to be competitive for admission to WOU.
