Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the minimum SAT scores required for specific universities.
  • Another participant suggests checking the universities' websites or contacting them directly for accurate information.
  • A different participant proposes that universities may only provide average scores rather than strict minimums, indicating that this could be a more useful metric for applicants.
  • Another participant expresses skepticism about the existence of minimum score requirements, suggesting that average scores are a better indicator of competitiveness in the admissions process and recommends using the College Board website for further information.

Does anyone know what are minimum scores for University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, North Carolina State University, and Purdue?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Their websites will have that information. If not, you can just call em :)
 
more than likely, they will have the average score available. if it isn't their policy to discard apps with a score lower than a predetermined minimum, then that's all they can tell you, really.
 
i can't think of any school that has minimum score requirments, they all probably have average scores for people who are accepted, i guess that's a good indicator of what score you should get to be a competative applicant. Anyway, just look it up at www.collegeboard.com.
