<p>2230 is a very good score and won’t get anyone knocked out of the admissions process at the Ivies, but there really is no “Safe” SAT score if by “safe” you mean it will get you admitted.</p>
<p>Sikorsky is correct that not all "2230"s are the same. A higher math score is deemed more rare for girls than boys. An 800 on CR is more rare than an 800 in math. Most schools place a higher value on the CR and Math score than they do on the Writing score.</p>
<p>That being said, a 2230 is a very good score - within the top 1% of the applicant pool. There are thousands of students outside the top 1% of SAT score who will be admitted to Ivies and thousands within the top 1% who will not be admitted.</p>
