SAT Requirements
Albertus Magnus College requires all applicants to submit either SAT or ACT scores. While the SAT is preferred, the college also accepts the ACT with a composite score between 21-24. The SAT score range for freshman applicants is 830-1170, with the average SAT score for admitted students being 1000. The college strongly recommends submitting SAT or ACT scores for a competitive application, as higher scores can significantly improve your chances of acceptance. In fact, students who submit their SAT scores experience a 10-15% increase in acceptance rates compared to those who do not. Additionally, SAT scores can also qualify you for merit scholarships, which can range up to $10,000 per student based on your performance.
