Top Scores
Top 3-7% Scores to get into Ivy League
Ivy League SAT/ACT Scores for Admission (Class of 2029–2030 cycle context, 2025–2026 data)
Ivy League schools are extremely selective (acceptance rates typically 3–7%). Scores are reported as middle 50% ranges (25th–75th percentile of enrolled students who submitted scores). A score at or above the 75th percentile is competitive, but holistic factors (GPA, essays, extracurriculars, recommendations, etc.) matter far more. Many Ivies have reinstated or strengthened testing requirements.
Ivy League Middle 50% Ranges (Approximate, latest available)
- Harvard: SAT 1510–1580 | ACT 34–36
- Princeton: SAT 1500–1560 | ACT 34–35
- Yale: SAT 1480–1560 | ACT 33–35
- Columbia: SAT 1520–1560 | ACT 34–36
- UPenn: SAT 1510–1570 | ACT 34–35
- Brown: SAT 1480–1560 | ACT 33–35
- Dartmouth: SAT 1440–1560 | ACT 32–35
- Cornell: SAT 1480–1560 (varies by college) | ACT 33–35
Target for strong Ivy consideration: 1520–1580+ SAT or 34–36 ACT, paired with a near-perfect GPA (3.9+ unweighted) and standout achievements. Hong Daddy students often achieve these levels with our average ~300 SAT point gains and 10-point ACT improvements.
Top 25 Best US National Universities (U.S. News 2026 approximate order)
Here are representative middle 50% score ranges for the top schools (Princeton #1, MIT #2, Harvard #3, etc.). Data compiled from recent Common Data Sets and admissions profiles.
- Princeton — SAT 1500–1560 | ACT 34–35
- MIT — SAT 1520–1580 | ACT 35–36
- Harvard — SAT 1510–1580 | ACT 34–36

- Yale — SAT 1480–1560 | ACT 33–35
- Duke / Johns Hopkins / Northwestern — SAT ~1490–1560 | ACT 34–35

- Dartmouth / Vanderbilt — SAT 1480–1560 | ACT 33–35
- And continuing into the top 25: Rice, Notre Dame, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Michigan, etc., with ranges typically 1450–1550+ SAT and 32–35 ACT.
