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.
At Colorado State University Pueblo the range is built from the 42 percent of enrolled students who chose to submit a score. Students generally submit when their score helps them, so a range drawn from that group sits higher than the class as a whole. Treat it as a description of a self-selected slice, not a cutoff.
The ACT range in SAT terms
Using the official 2018 concordance, an ACT 19 concords to roughly SAT 1010 and an ACT 26 to roughly SAT 1240. That comes with published standard errors of plus or minus 2 ACT points and plus or minus 80 SAT points, and the table predates both current tests. The converter explains the caveats.
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 Colorado State University Pueblo'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.

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 ACT score do you need for Colorado State University Pueblo?
- The middle 50 percent of enrolled students who submitted an ACT scored 19 to 26 on the composite. 5 percent of enrolled students submitted an ACT score.
- 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 Colorado State University Pueblo?
- The reported admission rate is 94.9 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.
