Hi everyone! Is there anywhere I can look up collegespecificSAT score requirements or averages? I want to make sure I'm targeting schools that are within my reach, but I'm having a hard time finding a reliable source. Any help would be great!
Hi! A reliable source for looking up college-specific SAT score information would be the schools' websites. Typically, you can find the SAT score range or middle 50% score data on their admissions office webpages. This data reflects the SAT scores of accepted students and can give you a solid idea of whether your own SAT score is within the competitive range for those schools.
Another useful resource is the College Board's website, specifically their BigFuture College Search tool. You can search for colleges by different criteria, including SAT score ranges. Although it's a good starting point, I would still recommend double-checking the information against the schools' official websites, as it can sometimes be outdated.
If you're not sure which schools to start with considering your score, you can also utilize college search and ranking websites such as CollegeVine, which allows you to input your SAT score and other information, then suggests colleges that could be a good fit for your profile. Remember that admissions are often holistic, so while your SAT score is an essential factor, it's not the only one that determines your chances of admission. Good luck with your search!
