| Measure | Score |
|---|---|
| SAT 25th percentile | 1340 |
| SAT 75th percentile | 1480 |
| SAT midpoint (estimated) | 1390 |
| ACT 25th percentile | 31 |
| ACT 75th percentile | 33 |
| ACT midpoint (estimated) | 32 |
A quarter of enrolled students scored below 1340 and a quarter scored above 1480. Treat 1480 as the target that makes your score a clear strength in this applicant pool, and 1340 as the point below which the rest of your application has to carry more weight.
The two ranges describe the same class, so submit whichever test places you higher in its own range — an ACT 33 and an SAT 1480 are read as equivalent here.
