Want to know how your test scores measure up against the average SAT scores at an Ivy League school?
The 8 schools in the Ivy League are among the most competitive schools to get into. As a result, Ivy League SAT scores are some of the highest in the country.
The highest average? Harvard University. With students in the 25th-75th percentile of the admitted class scoring between 2100 and 2380, their SAT scores are the strongest in the Ivy League.
Keep in mind, though, that these average Ivy League SAT scores reflect only a portion of accepted students’ scores. If your SAT score is lower than this range, you can still be accepted to an Ivy League school if the rest of your application is strong.
If you’re thinking about applying to an Ivy League school, these average ranges should give you a ballpark score to aim for when taking your SAT.

Beyond the Ivy League
The Ivy League only includes a small portion of available schools, many of which have incredible academic and social offerings.
If you’re considering applying to an Ivy League college, keep your mind open to other possibilities as well.
It might be that your dream school exists outside the Ivy League. Other top schools reveal more of a range in their SAT scores than the Ivy League schools, and offer more of a variety of sizes and locations all over the country.
