Colleges that accept a 1150 SAT

The short answer

A 1150 SAT is in the middle 50% of first-year scores at 507 four-year colleges. The 100 below are the ones where 1150 sits closest to the middle of the range, including Florida International University, Georgia State University and University of Kentucky.

Each college reports the SAT scores of the first-year students who sent one: a quarter scored below the 25th percentile and a quarter above the 75th. When 1150 falls between the two, it's a typical score there. Many of these colleges are test-optional, so the range describes only the students who chose to send a score.
