Auburn Requirements for Admission

What are Auburn’s admission requirements? While there are a lot of pieces that go into a college application, you should focus on only a few critical things:

• GPA requirements
• Testing requirements, including SAT and ACT requirements
• Application requirements

In this guide we’ll cover what you need to get into Auburn and build a strong application.

School location: Auburn University, AL

This school is also known as: Auburn University

Most schools use a weighted GPA out of 4.0, though some report an unweighted GPA.

With a GPA of 3.9, Auburn requires you to be at the top of your class. You’ll need nearly straight A’s in all your classes to compete with other applicants. Furthermore, you should be taking hard classes – AP or IB courses – to show that college-level academics is a breeze.

SAT and ACT Requirements

Each school has different requirements for standardized testing. Most schools require the SAT or ACT, and many also require SAT subject tests.

You must take either the SAT or ACT to submit an application to Auburn. More importantly, you need to do well to have a strong application.

Auburn SAT Requirements

Many schools say they have no SAT score cutoff, but the truth is that there is a hidden SAT requirement. This is based on the school’s average score.

Average SAT: 1235

The average SAT score composite at Auburn is a 1235 on the 1600 SAT scale.

This score makes Auburn Competitive for SAT test scores.

Auburn SAT Score Analysis (New 1600 SAT)

The 25th percentile New SAT score is 1160, and the 75th percentile New SAT score is 1300. In other words, a 1160 on the New SAT places you below average, while a 1300 will move you up to above average.

Here’s the breakdown of new SAT scores by section:

Section	Average	25th Percentile	75th Percentile
Math	620	570	670
Reading + Writing	615	580	650
Composite	1235	1160	1300

SAT Score Choice Policy

The Score Choice policy at your school is an important part of your testing strategy.

Auburn has the Score Choice policy of “Highest Sitting.”

This means that you can choose which SAT tests you want to send to the school. Of all the scores they receive, your application readers will consider the SAT score from your single highest test date (the sum of math, reading, and writing).

This is important for your testing strategy. Because you can choose which tests to send in, and Auburn only considers your highest score on a single test date, you can take the SAT as many times as you want, then submit your strongest score. Your application readers will only see that one score.

Therefore, if your SAT score is currently below a 1160, we strongly recommend that you consider prepping for the SAT and retaking it. You don’t have much to lose, and you can potentially raise your score and significantly boost your chances of getting in.
