Southern Colleges for a 920 on the SAT

What Southern colleges accept a 920 SAT score?

These Southern colleges are a good match for you

If you've achieved a score of 920 on your SATs, this places you squarely within the average range for accepted students at 122 Southern colleges. This list features popular colleges where your application will likely be competitive, given their historical acceptance of students with a 920 SAT score. However, it's crucial to remember that a good SAT score is not the sole criterion for admission. In fact, may colleges are now test optional.

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

Is a 920 SAT bad?

A score of 920 is pretty low. It situates you in the bottom 26th percentile on the national scale, underperforming the majority of the 1.7 million SAT test takers. This score signifies your well below 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 920 score represents 57% of the total possible points. If a 920 does not meet the requirements of your preferred college, you might want to consider enrolling in a test prep course to potentially enhance your score.
