If you've achieved a score of 1080 on your SATs, this places you squarely within the average range for accepted students at 24 Pacific Northwestern colleges. 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 Pacific Northwestern 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.
Let's examine how a 1080 SAT score stacks up to the national averages across various demographic groups
A 1080 on the SAT translates to a 21 on the ACT according to the concordance provided by the College Board and ACT. It's important to note that not all colleges disclose admission data for both the SAT and ACT. As such, we recommend checking our listings for each test to identify schools with similar academic profiles.
