Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are not strictly required for all applicants at UCD but are highly recommended for international students from the US.
• Scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review process, alongside high school transcripts and other qualifications.
• University College Dublin (UCD) does not officially superscore SAT results, so applicants should submit their highest single-sitting score.
• Alternatives such as Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) results may be considered in lieu of or alongside SAT scores for admissions.
• For competitive programs, prospective students are encouraged to aim for SAT scores above 1400 to enhance their chances of admission to UCD.
