With a 1020 on the SAT, these New England colleges are a good match for you

This list represents the most popular schools where you will be a competitive applicant and those which have historically accepted a 1020 SAT score. Keep in mind, a SAT score alone won't get you admitted. It's equally important to have the GPA that the college is expecting for incoming students.

Is a 1020 a good SAT score?

A score of 1020 is a little worse than average. It places you in the bottom 43rd percentile nationally out of the 1.7 million test takers of the SAT entrance exam. The score indicates you've done a slightly below average job answering the questions on the Math and Evidence-Based Reading & Writing sections of the test. If a 1020 isn't strong enough to get into your dream school, consider taking a test prep course to see if you can raise your score.

What is the ACT equivalent to a 1020 SAT score?

For comparison purposes, a 1020 on the SAT converts to a 19 on the ACT based on the College Board / ACT concordance. Not all colleges report both SAT and ACT score admission data so you should check our comparable listings for both standardized tests to find academically similar schools.
