The second smallest state doesn't have a lot of four-year colleges, but you will find some excellent schools for students with varying degrees of college preparation. Admissions standards range from the fairly selective University of Delaware to a few schools that admit nearly all applicants. To see if your SAT scores are in line for admission to your favorite Delaware colleges, the table below can help guide you. The scores in the table are for the middle 50% of enrolled students. If your scores fall within or above these ranges, you're on target for admission to one of these Delaware colleges. If your scores are slightly below the range presented in the table, don't lose all hope -- remember that 25% of enrolled students have SAT scores below those listed.

Also remember that SAT scores are just one part of the application. Even more important than standardized test scores are good grades in challenging courses (see the features of a strong academic record). Some schools may also evaluate your application essay, extracurricular activities and letters of recommendation.
