Campus statistics come from stored IPEDS and
College Scorecard records; GPA and testing fields are stored college details.
Per-record reporting years, GPA scales, and policy verification dates are unavailable on this page.
A campus acceptance rate describes a past applicant pool, not your individual chance or a major's admission rate.
Check the official admissions link on each school profile for your current application cycle.
Test-flexible does not mean no testing. Confirm program, scholarship, residency, and applicant-type exceptions.
Net prices are historical averages for eligible student groups, not aid offers; public-college figures may reflect
in-state students. Compare your budget with the college's official net price calculator before paying application fees.
Yes. Many colleges have SAT medians at or below 1100, and many test-optional campuses will omit the score. A 1000 is a reach at selective universities.
Should I submit a 1000 SAT?
Submit it only when it is near or above that campus median. Otherwise apply test-optional and put energy into GPA and essays.
Is ACT better if my SAT is 1000?
Only if your ACT percentile is clearly stronger. Do not take a second test just to collect another low score.
