Colleges for a 1300 SAT score

Where a 1300 SAT places you at colleges that publish their admitted-student ranges, split into safety, target and reach.

624
Safety

Your SAT is above the 75th percentile of admitted students. Likely admits, though nothing is guaranteed.

288
Target

Your SAT sits inside the middle 50% of admitted students. A reasonable chance, decided by the rest of your application.

97
Reach

Your SAT is below the 25th percentile. Possible, but you would need real strength elsewhere.

Based on the 1,009 colleges that publish an SAT range for admitted students. A further 87 report no SAT range — many are test-optional, and some publish only the other test — so an SAT can't be placed against them.
