This list features popular colleges where your application will likely be competitive, given their historical acceptance of students with a 1080 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 Eastern colleges
A score of 1080 is a little better than average. It situates you in the top 55th percentile on the national scale, outperforming the majority of the 1.7 million SAT test takers. This score signifies your slightly above 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 1080 score represents 68% of the total possible points. If a 1080 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.
