Southern Colleges for a 1060 on the SAT

What Southern colleges accept a 1060 SAT score?

These Southern colleges are a good match for you

If you've achieved a score of 1060 on your SATs, this places you squarely within the average range for accepted students at 290 Southern colleges. This list features popular colleges where your application will likely be competitive, given their historical acceptance of students with a 1060 SAT score.

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

Is a 1060 SAT good?

A score of 1060 is a little better than average. It situates you in the top 51st 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 1060 score represents 66% of the total possible points.
