Does anyone know the bare minimum SAT score that would have you accepted? Thanks in advance!
Ellie. Refer to the RAND Report. Most stats you need to know about all SAs and expectations are there. The report is bit old but not much has changed.
But why seek to exceed the minimum. Minimum is not the bar to exceed. Academies purposely publish the average so you can exceed the Academy average stats for the best chance possible. Aim high in all areas. This is true throughout your life. Don’t skate!

Tons of info
And here’s an old squid thread:

That 10 yr old Rand report is offer cited out of context here. The WCS was not the purpose of the study, but was mentioned in the report. It was done for WP so you can't assume it relates to every SA. Each year, you will find some applicants who got an appointment to one SA, but a TWE from another which indicates their admissions criteria are not exactly the same. Even at WP, the formula might have changed in the past 10 yrs and if you carefully read the study, it says that other factors are include in the WCS they did not assess.
SAT/ACT scores are only one factor considered for admissions.
If you want to get an idea how you stack up against others, search for the class profiles. 2021 is the latest available and it states the percentages of admitted candidates who fall into certain score ranges, etc.
Are you an applicant for class of 2022? If so, with those scores I would think it would be a waste of time. Also, I don't think there is time to get it scored and submitted for evaluation by admissions.Would taking the SAT after a certain point be a waste of time?
My current highest score is a 1540 (740V/800M) with a 7/5/7 on the essay.
Accordingly, should I retake or just focus on the other parts of my application to increase my WCS in other respects?
Also, does taking SAT II subject tests help one's application in any way or form?

I like how you called it a “squid” thread![]()

Great scores! Probably should just concentrate on other areas on application.Would taking the SAT after a certain point be a waste of time?

The bare minimum scorers don't represent the majority of those receiving the BFE.Does anyone know the bare minimum SAT score that would have you accepted? Thanks in advance!
