It’s a moving target. A lot of schools have a range so that, say a 1600 and a 1560 or 1500 or whatever is the same. But those cut offs are not public info and they can change even within the same application season.

Most schools say they have no such range, or minimum. Not always true. One year after the question was asked and answered as No min situation, one of my kids, the recruited athlete, and I went to visit the athletic facilities. Coach was blunt in that he already had his first choices committed, but, he said, if my son could get his SAT score up 20 points, he’d be over the minimum that Admissions required, and he could get in that way as an athletic tip rather than tag.
