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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a 1200 SAT good enough for college?

A 1200 SAT can be compared with the medians shown here. Check each college’s current testing policy and score distribution before deciding whether to submit.

Should I retake a 1200 SAT?

Retake if your practice tests are 50+ points higher or you need a specific scholarship grid. Otherwise spend the time on essays and a balanced list.

Is 1200 better than going test-optional?

Submit 1200 when it is at or above the school's median. Hide it when the school's median is 1350+ and the campus is test-optional.
