Hi everyone! Do you know the minimun score aceptable in DET for UVA Darden application?

Minimums can be very deceiving... it really depends on your profile, if you are a fighter pilot or a professional athlete then your minimum will be different from mine if I am from an over represented background of financial analyst or engineers... You are a lot more than a score but at the same time there are a lot more applicants than just you. So all depends on your peer pool. Looking at your phone number country code, it looks like you are from amor diverse location so you can probably say minimum would be 30 points below the average and I think the average has been around 675 or so... just going from memory Ideally you want to be at average as the min. Darden publishers there average in the class profile

Hi bb I guess he meant DET( Duolingo English Test) 😊

Oh. Doh! I missed it on the mobile. Thank you for pointing it out. I will be more careful! No clue what DET is... and now I see it is a better question than I thought it was originally.

Ajá, question refers to: For the Duolingo English Test, is there a minimum score?
