Schools with SAT data928
How to read this. SAT ranges are the 25th–75th percentile of enrolled students. A quarter scored below the low end, so falling short isn’t disqualifying — and being in range doesn’t mean you’ll get in. Most selective schools turn away many applicants with top scores.

Just below the range 133

Your 1150 is up to 100 points under the 25th percentile. A quarter of admitted students scored below that mark, so it isn't disqualifying — but the rest of your application has to carry more weight.

Common questions

What colleges can I get into with a 1150 SAT?

A 1150 SAT falls inside the middle-50% range of admitted students at 514 colleges, the most selective being College of the Ozarks (12% acceptance rate), and above the range at 139 more. Test scores are one factor; grades, essays and activities matter too.

Is 1150 a good SAT score?

Of the 928 colleges that publish SAT ranges, a 1150 is at or above the 25th percentile of admitted students at 653 of them and within 100 points of it at 133 more.

What does the middle-50% SAT range mean?

It's the span between the 25th and 75th percentile scores of enrolled students. A quarter of students scored below the low end and a quarter above the high end, so being below the range lowers your odds but doesn't rule you out.
