- A top ten University will generally require a SAT score of ~1500 out of a potential 1600 for admission into competitive programs and upwards of ~1300 for less competitive programs.
- A University in in top fifty will generally require ~1400 for admission into competitive programs and upwards of ~1200 for less competitive programs.
