<p>If my son gets 1800 to 1950 marks in SAT test can he get admission in top 5 colleges of USA</p>
<p>Not likely. A good source of test score information is the US News and World Reports annual college rankings- each school has their middle 50% test scores listed- ie the range of scores that the middle half of their students get. This would tell you which schools have students in the same range as your son. Also do not target schools for their prestige/ranking. Have your son, it is his life and decision, after all, look for schools that would be a good fit for him. This means schools where he academically and culturally feels comfortable. Get rid of your need to have your son at someplace you can brag to friends and family about- there are hundreds of good schools out there, many better than the top ranked ones. The top school is the one that meets your son’s needs, no one school is perfect nor best for every student. Some of the top ranked schools do not offer the range/selection of courses or majors found at many of the top public universities.</p>
<p>Highly unlikely.</p>
<p>Is he an international applicant?</p>
<p>you can get the average scores for most schools from their websites. that should help you figure out where he would seem to fit statistically.</p>
<p>If his name is Bill Gates IV, yes.</p>
<p>Thanks for reply we are migrating permanently from India and we will be getting Green Card…means citizenship USA pls guide</p>
<p>I appericiate your guidance but can you suggest some best in california as he appeared in SAT 4th oct and he will get 1800-1900 marks he did non medical field schooling and which field you suggest in this field for graduation</p>
<p>Not likely unless your son is an athletic recruit. Why not look at some of the UC campuses beside Berkeley and UCLA?</p>
<p>Take a look at these charts to see at which colleges an 1800-1900 SAT is competitive. Do you have a GPA? A GPA over 3.5 would help at the lower tier UCs if your SAT is in the 1800-1900 range.</p>

<p>As you can see, at the top 5 schools, an SAT 1800-1900 is not competitive.</p>
<p>He could first go to a California community college and then transfer in to a top California public college. Right now, he really can’t compete with American high school seniors applying to Berkeley or UCLA, but if he does well in community college, he will be competitive.</p>
<p>Your son doesn’t need to know his major when he starts college. It is good to know if he favors math/science/engineering or liberal arts/social sciences/humanities when choosing a school. Always remember it is his life and his decision, you are there for advice/guidance. It is not the parents’ job to determine their child’s field of study.</p>
