What SAT and ACT scores do East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania students report?
Submitted-score ranges at East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania offer a reference point for recent enrolled score submitters, not admission minimums. The middle half of submitted SAT scores, from the twenty-fifth through seventy-fifth percentiles, ran from 1,000 to 1,180.
For ACT submitters, the corresponding enrolled-student range was 22 through 23. These figures describe only enrollees who submitted each test.
Applicants should compare their own SAT score with the university’s 1,000 to 1,180 range and their ACT score with its corresponding range. Scores near or outside those spans still require context because the figures summarize recent enrolled submitters rather than setting a threshold.
