SAT scores
at US universities

What SAT score do you need? The most reliable answer is in each university’s Common Data Set — an official report whose section C9 gives the SAT scores of the first-year students who actually enrolled: the 25th and 75th percentiles, the middle 50% of the class.

Testing policies are shifting again, and more universities are bringing the SAT back. So for every university we also show its testing policy for Fall 2027 and Fall 2028 entry, checked against the official admissions pages in October 2026.

Below are 102 selective US universities and colleges — filter them by testing policy and sort by any column.
