Anyone.....

99% assuming you don't absolutely bomb the SAT or ACT. Auburn actually is more of an ACT school, though it doesn't really matter.

What would be a "bomb" score?

With a 1050 (CR and Math) you should be in. Auburn admits 70-80% of its applicants in a given year, and 3.0+ gpa and 1050 seems to be sufficient.

It actually depends on when you apply. If you apply in September you have a better chance (MUCH) of getting in with a 3.1/1050 than if you applied in February. Those scores would probably get you rejected after about January, because the class is starting to fill up then and they only let in late applicants if they're really awesome mostly. Quite often, I've seen people get deferred for several months with anything less than a 1100 and 3.2, especially out of staters. If you don't hear back from Auburn within 6-8 weeks (after October 1) you've probably been deferred, but they will let you know at the latest by February 15. Additionally, you should know if you are anticipating a scholarship at all, you must have at least a 28ACT/1270SAT to qualify for most scholarships in addition to a 3.25 GPA. The good scholarships you must have 30 ACT (I'm not sure of the SAT, maybe 1350?) and 3.5 GPA. Occasionally people with 27ACT get scholarships (the leftover money that comes up around feb/march) but I wouldn't count on it. And honestly, Auburn doesn't really care how awesome your clubs are. They are 95% interested in SAT/ACT and GPA; also, if you are a minority.

Thanks for the help. I take the SAT may 1st. Ill post my scores then...

So i got a 1070 on the SAT. (Not very good I know and it was my first time anyway) but Where does that put me?

AUlostchick

1070 isn't bad, it'll probably get you in but I would take it again to see if you improve any. It depends on what your GPA is also. If you've got a high GPA you should be fine getting in.

razordad

See post #5 and #6 above. If you have a 3.2 and 1070 that should be sufficient, particularly if you apply early. Auburn should begin taking applications on June 1. I'd suggest applying asap and submitting the SAT score you have; then take the SAT again and submit the score if you improved.

I'd try the ACT first before trying the SAT again...
