Is this a good SAT score to get accepted by colleges and recruited by college coaches ?
Evidence-Based Reading and Writing Score 350 Math Score 330 Your Total Score 680 .
For DII the minimum SAT score is 820. For DI, you would need a 2.85 GPA or higher in the core classes.

Sorry, but I think you get that kind of scores for just filling in your name correctly and nearly get every questions wrong. Coaches may want to recruit you if you are a great athlete, but the problem will be the admissions office will fight them all along the way to deny you admission.
The good thing is your timing. I assume you’re a junior, and have taken the SAT once?
You’ll want to bring that score UP. And you have the whole summer to do so.
Make this a priority. Look into the ACT, and see whether it might be a better exam for you. (I think Princeton Review has a hybrid test you can take for free to help you figure that out.) But make this your summer project, and devote at least as much time to it as you do to your sport-- an hour or two, minimum, every single day.
A 680 isn’t anyone’s idea of a strong score. And with so very many great athletes out there, it may be a hard sell for any coach looking for a kid with your talents.
It depends on the top of schools you want to go to, but 680 is not a strong score and you need to bring that up. First things first is look at colleges that you are applying to and see the scores in the 25th, average, and 75th percentile that were accepted in the university. The the two scores you should really focus on is the average and the 75th percentile, because you want to have a better score then the average and have similar scores with the people in the 75th percentile. By doing this you are increasing your chances of getting in.SAT scores are important, but remember to look at things like GPA, SAT subjevt tests( sometimes need), EC as well
OP, you should pose this question to the coaches of the colleges you are considering. At many programs, as long as you meet the NCAA eligibility guidelines, if the coach wants you on the team, you will be accepted.
Obviously, there are exceptions. A coach will not be able to get you past admissions at an Ivy League school with your current SAT scores, but there are many colleges that will accept you if you are a coach’s top recruit.
Can I still get into schools if my GPA is 4.0 and with that SAT score ?
@MichaelRobinson you might get into a college, especially the ones where the SAT is optional. But how can someone with a GPA of 4.0 get an SAT score of 680? I saw in your other post that you have a learning disability. Therefore I can understand why your scores are very low. You need to sit down with your school’s guidance counselor and discuss your options and situation. They will be able to direct you into the right path, as well as choosing the right fit school for you. For learning disability, they may be able to tell you of corrective therapy so that you can improve yourself. Good luck.
That score is enough for the NCAA minimum, but most colleges won’t accept it for admissions.
@downallunder Because I get A and B that why I have a 4.0 GPA .
Sorry, but getting a B will not give you a 4.0 GPA, unless it’s weighted.
I think downallunder meant that a student who has a 4.0 should have the academic skills to score higher on the SAT. Those are low scores. You should study and retake. Also try the ACT. Otherwise you are dramatically lowering your odds of being recruited to a good school/athletic program.
In another thread you indicate that you are in what you describe as “slow learning support classes.” You need to find out if your HS coursework is sufficient to meet the NCAA academic requirements. It does appear that you will need to raise your standardized testing. Talk to your HS coach, your guidance counselor, read through the attached link with your parents, and consider calling the number to get more information. http://www.ncaa.org/student-athletes/play-division-i-sports Good luck.
