i submitted my applicants to auburn and regular decision is a month away. my SAT lacked being a 1200 super score but I rank in the top 10% of my school and having a 5.2 weighted gpa with 100 merit points from class difficulty. i know applying as an out of state student lowers my odds but is auburn a long shot?

No, they want your money especially since you’re out of state.

Not at all. Auburn has an incredibly high acceptance rate

You can check out the Common Data Set to understand the profile of students who are enrolled. In looking at last year's 2024 Fall enrollment, the average composite SAT score at the 25th percentile was 1260, 50th percentile was 1320, and 75th percentile was 1380. For GPA, they only state that 63.98% of enrolled students had a GPA over 4.0 (not sure how your GPA scale correlates). Finally, Auburn rates the level of importance they give to various criteria. They rate GPA and Standardized Scores as "Very Important", Rigor of HS Classes as "Important", and Class Rank and other criteria as "Not Considered".

No, I think Auburn acceptance rate is like 50% but you should be good. Beat my under 3 high school GPA by a lot lol so I think you’ll get in

i went to a pretty academically rigorous school and was unranked, 1180 sat, 27 act, and a 3.7 and i got in early action 2. i might be a rarity but i definitely don’t think this is a long shot for you whatsoever!

Maybe. Your SAT is low for out of state - the average SAT for out of state is over 1400. Your gpa will be adjusted to remove non-academic classes, if any, but may still be strong enough to pull you through. If you really really want Auburn but get declined, I would recommend an appeal.

To give you a reference in 2016, I was accepted and my SAT score was 1190. I don’t know what class I was in maybe the top 25%
I think my GPA was like 3.59 unweighted it was like 4.2 weighted
It was also a out-of-state student
Hope this helps

You won’t get any merit scholarships tho… they are based off sat/act score along with a 3.5 minimum gpa.
