Hi, thanks for your question. I'm happy to help. 1460 is a great SAT score but as you know from reading these blogs, it's on the low side for Ivys, Elites, and Top Liberal Arts colleges where typically a 1500-1550 is the norm.

Nevertheless, if you are not interested in improving your SAT score to try for a better tranche of colleges to apply to, there are a number of very good colleges that have an auto-admit scholarship program based on a combination of test scores and your unweighted GPA.

Most of these are State schools and if apply as an in-state resident you will get more funding than if you apply out of state.

Good luck.
