Colleges for a 1010 on the SAT

What colleges accept a 1010 SAT score?

These colleges are a good match for you

If you've achieved a score of 1010 on your SATs, this places you squarely within the average range for accepted students at 556 U.S. colleges. This list features popular colleges where your application will likely be competitive, given their historical acceptance of students with a 1010 SAT score. However, it's crucial to remember that a good SAT score is not the sole criterion for admission. In fact, may colleges are now test optional. It's equally significant to maintain a Grade Point Average (GPA) that aligns with the college's expectations for incoming students. The creation of this list is rooted in a comprehensive analysis of SAT scores from students admitted to all U.S. colleges

Is a 1010 SAT bad?

A score of 1010 is a little worse than average. It situates you in the bottom 41st percentile on the national scale, underperforming the majority of the 1.7 million SAT test takers. This score signifies your slightly below average performance in answering questions in the Math and Evidence-Based Reading & Writing sections of the exam. The SAT is scored out of a maximum of 1600 and a minimum of 400, meaning your 1010 score represents 63% of the total possible points. If a 1010 does not meet the requirements of your preferred college, you might want to consider enrolling in a test prep course to potentially enhance your score.
