54% submitted an SAT score
Every range below describes only those students, which is about half the class. That is 84 enrolled students. Students who submit scores are the ones who chose to, so the range is not a picture of the whole class.

How to read these numbers
The middle 50 percent range means a quarter of submitting students scored below the lower number and a quarter scored above the higher one. Being inside the range does not predict admission, and being below it does not rule it out.
Why there is no total score range here
Adding the two section ranges together would give roughly 880 to 1110, and you will see that figure on other sites. It is not a real composite range.
The 25th percentile of a total is not the sum of the two section 25th percentiles, because the same student is rarely at the 25th percentile in both sections at once. The true composite band is narrower. Neither College Scorecard nor IPEDS publishes one, so this page shows the sections separately rather than inventing a total.
Working out where you stand
If you have a practice test rather than an official score, the SAT score calculator converts it using that test's own official table, and the score needed calculator works backwards from a target to the raw score it takes.
For what these numbers mean in national terms rather than at one institution, see the percentile tables and what counts as a good score.
Whether scores are required here
This page does not state Goshen College's current testing policy. The policy field in the federal data is self-reported and lags real changes, sometimes by a full admissions cycle, and several universities have reinstated requirements recently.
Check Goshen College's own admissions pages for the cycle you are applying in. Their site is www.goshen.edu. Our guide covers the current landscape, with the same warning.
Sources
- Score ranges and admission rate: College Scorecard, Most Recent Institution-Level Data, US Department of Education. Fall 2024 cohort, released 2026-06-10. Retrieved 2026-08-27.
- Score submission percentages: IPEDS Admissions (ADM) 2023, NCES. Fall 2023 cohort. Retrieved 2026-08-27. College Scorecard does not carry this field, which is why the two are joined.
The two sources have different vintages, one year apart. That is stated rather than smoothed over, because a submission percentage from a different cohort than the score range is a real limitation of the joined data.

Common questions
- What SAT score do you need for Goshen College?
- Among enrolled students who submitted an SAT score, the middle 50 percent scored 440 to 550 in Reading and Writing and 440 to 560 in Math. Note that only 54 percent of enrolled students submitted an SAT score, so that range describes about half the class.
- Why is there no single SAT total range on this page?
- Because neither of the sources publishes one. The 25th percentile of a total is not the sum of the two section 25th percentiles, so adding them together would overstate the spread. The sections are shown separately, which is what the data actually supports.
- How selective is Goshen College?
- The reported admission rate is 84.1 percent. Admission rates and score ranges describe different things, and a score inside the published range is not by itself a prediction of admission.
- How current is this data?
- Score ranges come from the College Scorecard release of 2026-08, covering the Fall 2024 cohort, released 2026-06-10. Submission percentages come from IPEDS, Fall 2023 cohort. The two have different vintages and are labelled separately on this page.
