Colleges that accept a 1350 SAT

Updated Federal and Common Data Set numbers, each with its year

The short answer

A 1350 SAT is in the middle 50% of first-year scores at 201 four-year colleges. The 100 below are the ones where 1350 sits closest to the middle of the range, including Ohio State, Purdue and UT Austin.

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 1350 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.

The list (100 of 201)

Four-year colleges with 500 or more undergraduates where 1350 is between the 25th and 75th percentile SAT total, closest to the middle first, 100 of 201 shown. Score ranges come from IPEDS (fall 2024) for 67 colleges and each college's own Common Data Set (fall 2025) for 33 colleges.

What colleges accept a 1350 SAT score?

A 1350 SAT is in the middle 50% of first-year scores at 201 four-year colleges. The 100 below are the ones where 1350 sits closest to the middle of the range, including Ohio State, Purdue and UT Austin. Colleges don't set a minimum score, so a 1350 inside a college's middle 50% means it is a typical score among the first-years who sent one.

Which of these colleges admit the most applicants?

School of Visual Arts admitted 93% of fall 2024 applicants, Ursinus College admitted 92% of fall 2024 applicants and University of Alabama at Birmingham admitted 88% of fall 2024 applicants. Among the 100 colleges listed, 22 admitted three in four applicants or more.

Which colleges on this list are hardest to get into?

United States Naval Academy admitted 9.3% of fall 2024 applicants, United States Military Academy admitted 13% of fall 2024 applicants and United States Air Force Academy admitted 14% of fall 2024 applicants: the lowest rates on this list.

Do I have to send my SAT score to these colleges?

It depends on the college. We read the fall 2027 rule on the college's own site for 33 colleges on this list: 12 require a score, 19 are test-optional, 1 require it for some applicants, 1 won't look at scores. For the others, check the college's admissions page before you decide.

Numbers change each year when colleges and the Department of Education publish new data. Confirm costs and admission rules with the college before you apply.
