SAT Scores for Ivy League Admissions

If you're wondering if you have the SAT scores you'll need to get into an Ivy League school, here's a side-by-side comparison of scores for the middle 50% of enrolled students. If your scores fall within or above these ranges, you're on target for Ivy League admissions.

Realize, of course, that SAT scores are just one part of the application. It's possible to have perfect 800s for each SAT subject and still get rejected if other parts of your application are weak. Similarly, some students with scores significantly below the ranges listed here gain admission because they demonstrate other strengths.
