Some universities in the United States have set SAT prerequisites to even be considered for admission. The University of North Carolina (UNC) System, a 17-campus consortium of public universities, has established a minimum SAT composite score of 880 (on the 2016 version) or 800 (on the old test) for admission eligibility. However, meeting eligibility requirements does not guarantee admission, and the standards at many campuses are much higher. The flagship UNC-Chapel Hill, for example, reports composite middle 50% critical reading and math scores of 1210-1420, which is significantly higher than the scores necessary for mere consideration. At North Carolina State University, the mean combined critical reading and math score for new students is 1256, and at UNC Charlotte, it is approximately 1115. Students preparing for the SAT must become familiar with the SAT requirements and averages of the schools they wish to attend. Students should also note that achieving SAT scores that are higher than the mean for new students at a given institution will give them much better chances of acceptance to that institution.
