●Direct answers
Direct answers to the questions students ask most, drawn from real admit data.

Typically 320-plus overall for competitive programs. Quant carries the most weight in STEM, where admitted averages often sit in the mid-to-high 160s; verbal matters more in the humanities. SOPExpert tracks the average admitted quant and verbal scores for every program.
