For admission to top universities, especially Ivy League schools, a competitive SAT score is typically in the higher range. Generally, an average “good” SAT score for these institutions is around 1450 out of 1600, with many students scoring closer to the top score of 1600.
Here’s a breakdown:
- Verbal and Reading: Scores are usually around 700-800.
- Math: Scores typically range from 750-800.
These scores are just averages, and admission decisions also depend on your entire application, including your essays, letters of recommendation, extracurricular activities, and GPA. However, aiming for a score in this range can significantly enhance your chances of being considered at competitive Ivy League schools.
