Free tool
Enter an SAT or ACT score to sort the 354 colleges in our dataset into reach, target and likely using their reported middle 50% ranges and acceptance rates. It runs in your browser and nothing you type leaves the page.
The tool compares your score with each college's reported middle 50% range, the 25th to 75th percentile of enrolled students who submitted scores, and with its acceptance rate. A college lands in reach when your score is below its 25th percentile or it admits fewer than 15% of applicants. It lands in likely when your score is at or above the 75th percentile and the acceptance rate is at least 40%, or when the acceptance rate is 75% or higher. Everything else is target.
These cutoffs are our own rule of thumb. Your grades, courses, essays and activities matter as much as a test score, so use the lists to start a conversation with your counselor, not to decide where to apply. Read how colleges use the middle 50% range and how many colleges to apply to for the reasoning behind a balanced list.
The 354 colleges and their figures come from the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard (May 2026 release (file published 2026-05-26)), the same data as the college profiles and the open dataset. Only colleges that report a range for the test you choose can be sorted, so test-optional colleges that report no ACT or SAT range are left out and the tool tells you how many.
Ranges describe students who enrolled in an earlier year and chose to submit scores. At test-optional colleges those students are often the ones with higher scores, so a range can look harder to reach than it really is. Acceptance rates and ranges change each year, so check the college's own page before you rely on either.
The tool runs in your browser. Your score and filters are not sent anywhere and nothing is stored.
No. Likely means your test score is at or above the college's usual range and it admits most applicants. Admission also depends on grades, courses and the rest of your application.
Only colleges that report a range for the test you pick can be sorted. Colleges that report no SAT or ACT range are left out, and the tool shows how many.
Yes. Choose ACT composite and enter a score from 1 to 36. The tool then uses each college's ACT middle 50% range.
No. It runs in your browser only.
