Colleges for a 1120 on the SAT

What colleges accept a 1120 SAT score?

These colleges are a good match for you

This list features popular colleges where your application will likely be competitive, given their historical acceptance of students with a 1120 SAT score.

The creation of this list is rooted in a comprehensive analysis of SAT scores from students admitted to all U.S. colleges

Is a 1120 SAT good?

A score of 1120 is a little better than average. It situates you in the top 63rd 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 1120 score represents 70% of the total possible points.
