Frequently asked questions

What does the middle 50% SAT range mean?
The 25th to 75th percentile scores of students who enrolled. Half the class scored inside the range, a quarter below it and a quarter above it. It is published in each college's Common Data Set, section C9.
Where do these numbers come from?
Each institution's Common Data Set or first-year class profile for the fall 2024 entering class, and each institution's announced test policy for the fall 2026 cycle. Ranges are re-checked each winter when the new Common Data Sets are published.
Why do some colleges have no range?
Test-blind schools, including the University of California and California State University campuses, do not consider SAT or ACT scores at all, so they publish no range and the score checker does not apply.
