How to read these numbers
The middle 50 percent range means a quarter of submitting students scored below the lower number and a quarter scored above the higher one. Being inside the range does not predict admission, and being below it does not rule it out.
Why there is no total score range here
Adding the two section ranges together would give roughly 1130 to 1370, and you will see that figure on other sites. It is not a real composite range.
The 25th percentile of a total is not the sum of the two section 25th percentiles, because the same student is rarely at the 25th percentile in both sections at once. The true composite band is narrower. Neither College Scorecard nor IPEDS publishes one, so this page shows the sections separately rather than inventing a total.
Working out where you stand
If you have a practice test rather than an official score, the SAT score calculator converts it using that test's own official table, and the score needed calculator works backwards from a target to the raw score it takes.
For what these numbers mean in national terms rather than at one institution, see the percentile tables and what counts as a good score.
Whether scores are required here
This page does not state Caldwell University's current testing policy. The policy field in the federal data is self-reported and lags real changes, sometimes by a full admissions cycle, and several universities have reinstated requirements recently.
Check Caldwell University's own admissions pages for the cycle you are applying in. Their site is www.caldwell.edu. Our guide covers the current landscape, with the same warning.
Sources
- Score ranges and admission rate: College Scorecard, Most Recent Institution-Level Data, US Department of Education. Fall 2024 cohort, released 2026-06-10. Retrieved 2026-08-27.
- Score submission percentages: IPEDS Admissions (ADM) 2023, NCES. Fall 2023 cohort. Retrieved 2026-08-27. College Scorecard does not carry this field, which is why the two are joined.
The two sources have different vintages, one year apart. That is stated rather than smoothed over, because a submission percentage from a different cohort than the score range is a real limitation of the joined data.

Common questions
- What SAT score do you need for Caldwell University?
- Among enrolled students who submitted an SAT score, the middle 50 percent scored 540 to 630 in Reading and Writing and 590 to 740 in Math.
- Why is there no single SAT total range on this page?
- Because neither of the sources publishes one. The 25th percentile of a total is not the sum of the two section 25th percentiles, so adding them together would overstate the spread. The sections are shown separately, which is what the data actually supports.
- How selective is Caldwell University?
- The reported admission rate is 71.3 percent. Admission rates and score ranges describe different things, and a score inside the published range is not by itself a prediction of admission.
- How current is this data?
- Score ranges come from the College Scorecard release of 2026-08, covering the Fall 2024 cohort, released 2026-06-10. Submission percentages come from IPEDS, Fall 2023 cohort. The two have different vintages and are labelled separately on this page.
