Interpret carefully
What the numbers mean
75th percentile
Among enrolled first-years who submitted SAT scores, about three quarters reported a Math score at or below this value and about one quarter reported a higher value.
Test-optional context
When scores are optional, the reporting group can be self-selected. A smaller submitting percentage may make the published range less representative of the whole entering class.
Descriptive, not predictive: these ranges summarize a prior entering class. They do not set a minimum, measure acceptance probability, or guarantee an outcome. Always check the institution’s current testing policy for the student’s entry term.
