LU SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 950–1150 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math)
• Average Score: Approximately 1050
• 75th Percentile: Around 1150, meaning 25% of admitted students score above this mark

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are not strictly required at Lander University (LU), as the university has adopted a test-optional policy for certain applicants; however, submitting scores can strengthen an application.
• Scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review process, alongside GPA and other academic achievements, rather than as a strict cutoff.
• Lander University does practice superscoring for SAT scores, meaning they consider the highest section scores across multiple test dates.
• 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 aiming for a competitive edge at LU should target an SAT score of at least 1050–1150 to align with or exceed the average and 75th percentile of admitted students.
