Colleges for a 930 on the SAT

What colleges accept a 930 SAT score?

These colleges are a good match for you

If you've achieved a score of 930 on your SATs, this places you squarely within the average range for accepted students at 262 U.S. colleges. This list features popular colleges where your application will likely be competitive, given their historical acceptance of students with a 930 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 U.S. colleges

Is a 930 SAT bad?

A score of 930 is pretty low. It situates you in the bottom 27th 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 930 score represents 58% of the total possible points. If a 930 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.
