What’s good SAT score for top US or UK universities from Dubai?

A good SAT score depends on the universities you’re applying to and the competitiveness of your chosen program. In general:

• 1200–1350: Competitive for many universities in the US and for some universities that consider SAT scores as part of the application.
• 1350–1450: Strong score for many selective universities.
• 1450–1550+: Competitive for highly selective US universities and scholarship opportunities.
• 1550–1600: Excellent score that is competitive at many of the world’s most selective institutions.

For UK universities, SAT requirements vary. Many universities place greater emphasis on qualifications such as A Levels, IB, or AP exams, while some may consider SAT scores for applicants following a US curriculum or as supporting academic evidence. Admission requirements differ by university and program, so students should always check the latest entry requirements for their chosen institution.
