REALITY CHECK – SAT RANGE, 25TH-75TH PERCENTILE FOR ENROLLED STUDENTS AT
VARIOUS SELECTIVE UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES NATIONWIDE
Data based on college Class of 2014 (entered college Fall 2010) and include only
those students who ENROLLED at each individual school, NOT all students who applied
NOR all students who were accepted. Those schools that reported all three sections of the
SAT for The Common Data set are in italics. Otherwise, numbers in brackets are
PROJECTED SAT totals for three scales, calculated by doubling the Critical Reading section
and adding this to the Math section. Normative data released by The College Board in
summer 2010 indicated that the average score for students on the Writing section of the
SAT is 492 nationwide. This is roughly commensurate with the national average for Critical
Reading (501); consequently, the extrapolation of Writing scores to form a three part total is
based on the assumption that the range of Writing results will be parallel to the range of
scores from the Critical Reading section
