How does UNCW view SATs and ACTs?
The middle fifty percent of the students admitted to UNCW had SAT scores between 1120 and 1240. UNCW also accepts the ACT (with the writing portion). The ACT composite average is 25. Consideration is given to all students who apply regardless of SAT/ACT scores since standardized testing is only one factor used in arriving at an admission decision. We use a student’s highest SAT math and critical reading score from all test dates and create the highest total score to advantage a student. In that way, the lowest score will have no effect.
