UA SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 1090–1280 (based on recent admitted student data for the University of Arkansas System)
• Average Score: Approximately 1180, reflecting the middle ground for successful applicants to UA
• 75th Percentile: Around 1280, meaning top-tier admitted students often score at or above this mark

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are typically required for freshman admission to the University of Arkansas (UA), though policies may vary by campus and program.
• Scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review process, alongside GPA, coursework rigor, and other application components at UA.
• The University of Arkansas System often practices superscoring, combining the highest section scores from multiple SAT test dates to create the best possible composite score.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores may be considered for placement or credit but are not direct substitutes for SAT requirements at UA.
• Prospective students should aim for an SAT score of at least 1180–1280 to be competitive, especially for selective programs within the University of Arkansas System.
