What to do with your 1160
Send your score
Your SAT is at or above the median of freshmen who sent scores (1160).
Reach, target and likely are a rough guide from your test score and how selective the college is. Admissions also weigh your courses, grades, essays and activities. Merit aid figures are estimates, before any need-based aid.
