Of the 928 colleges that publish SAT ranges, a 900 lands inside the middle 50% of admitted students at 125 and above it at 1; it’s within 100 points of the range at 192 more. Each list is sorted most selective first.
Your 900 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.

Source: U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard. SAT range is the 25th–75th percentile combined score of enrolled students. Net price is the average annual cost after grants for students receiving federal aid. Earnings are median earnings 10 years after entering. A dash means the figure isn’t published.
A 900 SAT falls inside the middle-50% range of admitted students at 125 colleges, the most selective being Dallas Christian College (22% acceptance rate), and above the range at 1 more. Test scores are one factor; grades, essays and activities matter too.
Of the 928 colleges that publish SAT ranges, a 900 is at or above the 25th percentile of admitted students at 126 of them and within 100 points of it at 192 more.
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.
Your score is one number. Your application is the rest.
