Miami context: At the University of Miami, 34% of enrolled first-year students submitted SAT scores. Its reported range therefore represents that score-submitting subset.
Middle 50% among enrolled first-year students who submitted SAT scores—not an admission cutoff. Inside means 700 falls between the reported 25th and 75th percentiles; above means it exceeds the reported 75th percentile. Neither label predicts admission or guarantees competitiveness.
Interpret carefully
What the numbers mean
75th percentile
Among enrolled first-years who submitted SAT scores, about three quarters reported a Math score at or below this value and about one quarter reported a higher value.
Test-optional context
When scores are optional, the reporting group can be self-selected. A smaller submitting percentage may make the published range less representative of the whole entering class.
Descriptive, not predictive: these ranges summarize a prior entering class. They do not set a minimum, measure acceptance probability, or guarantee an outcome. Always check the institution’s current testing policy for the student’s entry term.
Turn the comparison into a next step
Use the college list before choosing another SAT attempt.
Once you know where the current score sits for the colleges actually under consideration, the next question is what the student should work on—not whether the score is universally “good” or “bad.”
