Questions
Is 1150 a good SAT score?
It sits in the middle 50% of enrolled students at 383 US universities on the Common App, and above the middle 50% at 60 more.
What colleges can I get into with a 1150 SAT?
Your score is in range at universities such as Abilene Christian University, Adelphi University, Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Alfred University and Alvernia University. Admission also depends on your grades, essays and activities.
Should I send a 1150 SAT to a test-optional university?
At a test-optional university, send it if it's at or above the middle of that university's range. 157 universities on this list are test-optional or test-blind for 2026–27.
How is the range calculated?
We add the 25th and the 75th percentiles of the two SAT sections (Math, Reading and Writing) published by the US Department of Education for fall 2024. It's the usual approximation of the total-score range.
