SAT Scores are required for some programs
This university requires SAT Scores for some programs.
SUNY Upstate’s standard admissions for upper‑division bachelor’s transfer, graduate, and professional programs do not consider SAT/ACT scores; instead, applicants submit prerequisite coursework and transcripts, and professional programs require exams such as the MCAT or GRE. However, early‑assurance BS/MD tracks require SAT scores ≥1360 (or ACT ≥29), and the 4+3 DPT Early Assurance program also requires SAT/ACT submission.
Note: Some programs or scholarships may still recommend or require SAT scores. Always verify the latest admission criteria on the official university website.
