UPenn SAT requirements 2023
|
Highly selective universities including The Ivy League, Stanford, Northwestern, and Boston University, all have announced that they will remain test optional through the high school class of 2024. We expect other highly selective institutions to follow suit, but we can’t make any guarantees (with the exception of MIT which announced it will require tests). Show Our assessment is that Test Optional is here to stay, and we are thrilled! At this point, we are recommending that the high school class of 2024 still consider taking the ACT or SAT, but whether or not they submit their scores should depend on test availability and personal performance. Our advice is that: 1. Students should not be engaged in herculean efforts to take a test (e.g., travel great distances to find a test or sacrifice your mental/physical health); 2. If your test score does not fall within the upper 50% range of your desired school OR it doesn’t reflect your academic school performance, you have the option not to submit; 3. You must enter the college admissions cycle with your eyes wide open. Remember, if you decide not to submit your test score, everything else will matter more in the admissions process. Rigor and grades continue to matter the most supported by a compelling story. We are encouraged by the number of schools that already have announced a test optional policy through high school class of 2024 and beyond. Combined with the schools that have been traditionally (and permanently) test optional, there are many test optional choices for the high school class of 2024. The College Curators have successfully advised 100s of students on navigating the test optional environment. We expertly guide our students to build a balanced college list supported by an authentic and verifiable application.

What SAT score is needed for UPenn?To have the best shot of getting in, you should aim for the 75th percentile, with a 1560 SAT or a 35 ACT. You should also have a 3.9 GPA or higher. If your GPA is lower than this, you need to compensate with a higher SAT/ACT score.
Does UPenn require SAT 2025?Penn Admissions will not require ACT or SAT test results for the upcoming application cycle, and students who are unable or choose not to submit test scores will not be at a disadvantage in the admissions process.
Can I get into UPenn with a 1500 SAT?UPenn's Class of 2024 incoming class profile shows 1470/1550 on the SAT and 34-36 on the ACT as the middle 50%, not 1440 as the previous poster suggested. I would aim for 1500-1510 because that is real middle and with that score, you can comfortably feel you have met the benchmark for those submitting test scores.
