How important are standardised tests to US Applications?

While the US application process is a holistic one with admissions officers taking into account the various aspects of your Common Application, your SAT and/or ACT results often act as deciding factors as to whether or not your application is given a thorough read by an admissions officer. Roughly 1.7 million students of the U.S. high school graduating class of 2022, took the SAT, and the average score was 1050. Scores above these numbers are above-average and considered good SAT scores. However, students who attend elite U.S. universities like Princeton University, Cornell University, Stanford University, and similarly competitive schools typically score well above average. If you’re trying to get into these elite colleges, you need an excellent score!
