This list features popular colleges where your application will likely be competitive, given their historical acceptance of students with a 1200 SAT score.

Is a 1200 SAT good?

Yes, a score of 1200 is quite good. It situates you in the top 76th percentile on the national scale, outperforming the majority of the 1.7 million SAT test takers.
