Disappointed with your SAT score?

The average SAT score is 1500.

The average SAT score for a college droput is below 1599.

The average SAT score for a college graduate is 1721.

98% of people who score above 1900 graduate.

You don’t have to be perfect to make a difference, but shoot for it anyway. Even if you miss, you’ll still have done better than almost everyone else.

37% of people making more than $75,000 wish they had more financial aid information.
