What colleges accept a 950 SAT score?
Based on 2021 freshman class SAT scores for all U.S. colleges, here are 332 schools where submitting a 950 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 950 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 950 is pretty low. It places you in the bottom 31st percentile nationally out of the 1.7 million test takers of the SAT entrance exam. The score indicates you've done a well below average job answering the questions on the Math and Evidence-Based Reading & Writing sections of the test. Since your score is on the lower end of the range, consider taking a test prep course and re-taking the SAT to see if you can do better.
For comparison purposes, a 950 on the SAT converts to a 17 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.
