At Manhattan Review, we are often asked to associate hard numbers with "good" SAT scores. Percentile ranks for the total group of test-takers are a good place to start. According to College Board data, the 50th-percentile SAT composite score (2016 version) is 1080. About 25% of students score 1280 or above, with a 1340 representing the 90th percentile and a 1410 at the 95th percentile. Only about 1% of all test-takers score 1510 or higher. It is also important for students to know the average SAT scores of successful applicants to highly selective universities. At Cornell University, for example, the median SAT total score is 1420, with middle-50% scores between 1330 and 1490. Average SAT scores for accepted students at most American colleges and universities are available through the Common Data Set Initiative, which provides a standard framework for the publication of this data (Common Data Sets are generally viewable as PDFs on university websites). A "good" SAT score is ultimately higher than a given university's average, but we can say that sectional scores of 700 or higher are competitive for most undergraduate programs.
