Typical SAT scores for specific top schools


Once again, it seems AdmitSpit readers are wondering about colleges’ standardized testing expectations.

I couldn’t find a comprehensive list anywhere on the Internet that compiles the SAT expectations at each of the top schools, so I created one! The name of each school, along with the math and verbal SAT scores they usually accept and any special notes are provided. This data was taken from each college’s admissions Web site.

Brown: For Verbal, 25.5% admitted with 750-800 score, 16.7% admitted with 700-740, 9.5% admitted with 650-690, 7.9% admitted with 600-640, 7.1% admitted with 550-590, 6.2% admitted 500-540, 2.6% admitted with 450-490, and only 2 students or 1.4% admitted with score less than 450.
