What colleges accept a 1120 SAT score?
Based on 2021 freshman class SAT scores for all U.S. colleges, here are 635 schools where submitting a 1120 with your college application places you around the middle SAT score range of admitted students. This list represents the most popular schools where you will be a competitive applicant and those which have historically accepted a 1120 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.
A score of 1120 is a little better than average. It places you in the top 63rd percentile nationally out of the 1.7 million test takers of the SAT entrance exam. The score indicates you've done a slightly above average job answering the questions on the Math and Evidence-Based Reading & Writing sections of the test. If a 1120 isn't strong enough to get into your dream school, consider taking a test prep course to see if you can raise your score.
For comparison purposes, a 1120 on the SAT converts to a 21 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.
