SAT Results : Cut-off

The SAT is a standardized test, it changes with every new exam so there is no universal SAT cutoff– it isn’t a pass/fail system, but one used to measure the level against other candidates. Ivy league universities set a highest benchmark of 1500, with a score of above 680 in Math and above 600 in Reading and Writing sections. Harvard, Yale and MIT are those] few universities.

Universities often have cutoffs for their admission requirements, but these vary greatly from institution to institution, so checking entry requirements is a good practice for anyone applying as they change with the average SAT results of that attempt/year.
