WAU SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 800–1000 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math)
• Average Score: Approximately 900
• 75th Percentile: Around 980, meaning top admitted students often score at or above this mark

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are not strictly required at Washington Adventist University (WAU), as the university has adopted a test-optional policy for many applicants.
• When submitted, SAT scores are evaluated as part of a holistic review process, alongside GPA, extracurriculars, and personal statements.
• WAU does not officially superscore SAT results, so applicants should submit their best single-sitting scores.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores may be considered for placement or credit but are not substitutes for SAT in admissions.
• Prospective students are encouraged to aim for an SAT score of at least 900–980 to align with the average and 75th percentile of admitted students at WAU.
