This list features popular colleges where your application will likely be competitive, given their historical acceptance of students with a 1090 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.

A score of 1090 is a little better than average. It situates you in the top 57th percentile on the national scale, outperforming the majority of the 1.7 million SAT test takers.

The SAT is scored out of a maximum of 1600 and a minimum of 400, meaning your 1090 score represents 68% of the total possible points. If a 1090 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.
