What score do you actually need?
There is no hard cutoff. The midpoint (~1275) is a reference point, not a promise: landing near or above it makes you competitive on the numbers; landing below it means the rest of your application — rigor, grades, essays — needs to do more work. Because University of Central Florida is selective (40.1% admit rate), strong scores help but never guarantee admission on their own.
Test-optional?
Test-optional policies change year to year, so check University of Central Florida's official admissions site for the policy that applies to your cycle. Our odds tool handles test-optional applicants either way: if you don't submit scores, we estimate from the rest of your profile rather than penalizing a missing number.
