Where you stand at the colleges on your list
Enter your SAT or ACT and the colleges you're looking at. See each one's middle 50%, where your score lands, whether to send it, and how many points would change your list.
Your best total. GPA is unweighted, out of 4.0, and optional.
Four tiers from two public numbers
Each college's middle 50% SAT range and its admit rate. Nothing about you is guessed beyond the score and GPA you enter.
- Far reach
More than 50 points under their 25th percentile, or under their 75th at a school that admits fewer than 1 in 10.
- Reach
Under their 25th percentile, or any school that admits fewer than 1 in 5, whatever the score.
- Target
In or above their middle 50% at a school that admits at least 1 in 5.
- Likely
Above their 75th percentile at a school that admits at least half its applicants.
Why there are no percentages
A real percentage would need your essays, activities, recommendations and who else applied. No public data has those, so a single number would be made up. Tiers say what scores can say.
When to send your score
At a test-optional college, send it if it's at or above their median and hold it if it's under. Some colleges require scores again; those are marked Score required.
Where the numbers come from
SAT ranges come from each college's Common Data Set, the report most colleges publish every year. Admit rates come from it too, or from IPEDS, the federal college survey, when a college hasn't posted one. IPEDS data is from the Urban Institute's Education Data Portal.
