Fayetteville State University Admissions

Admitted students at Fayetteville State typically demonstrate solid academic preparation with SAT scores ranging from 855 to 1,045, representing the middle 50% of enrolled students. The SAT midpoint of 972 indicates average admitted student performance, with Math scores spanning 410 to 525 and Verbal scores ranging from 445 to 520. ACT scores fall between 15 and 20, with a midpoint of 17, reflecting similar academic preparation levels. These test score ranges position admitted students well above national averages, ranking at the 85th percentile for SAT performance and 86th percentile for ACT scores among four-year institutions. However, scores fall 118 points below the peer median SAT of 1,090, indicating the institution serves students with somewhat lower test performance than typical public universities of similar size and mission. Students scoring within the 855-1,045 SAT range should feel confident about their academic competitiveness for admission. Those scoring below 855 remain viable candidates but may benefit from demonstrating strength in other application areas such as leadership, community service, or personal circumstances. The ranges represent enrolled students, not minimum requirements, meaning successful applicants span a broader spectrum of academic preparation. Prospective students should focus on presenting their complete academic profile rather than test scores alone when applying.
