GSU SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 830–1030 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math)
• Average Score: Approximately 930
• 75th Percentile: Around 1030, meaning 75% of admitted students score at or below this level

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are optional for most undergraduate programs at Governors State University (GSU) due to test-optional policies, though submitting scores can strengthen an application.
• GSU employs a holistic review process, considering SAT scores alongside GPA, coursework, and other factors rather than strict cutoffs.
• Governors State University does not currently have a superscoring policy for SAT scores, so the highest single test date score is typically considered.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores may be considered for placement or credit but are not direct substitutes for SAT scores in admissions.
• Applicants are encouraged to aim for an SAT score of at least 930–1030 to align with the average and 75th percentile of admitted students at GSU.
