Understanding percentile rank for a 1550 SAT score

Hi everyone! I recently scored a 1550 on the SAT and I was curious about where that places me percentile-wise. Does anyone know what percentile that score falls into? I'm hoping it's good!

Congratulations on your score! A 1550 on the SAT is extremely strong, placing you around the 99th percentile nationally. That means you scored higher than approximately 99% of all test-takers! This score is considered competitive for highly selective colleges and universities across the U.S. Remember, that while a high SAT score like this is a great asset, colleges also take into account other factors such as GPA, extracurricular involvement, letters of recommendation, and your personal essay. Use this achievement to bolster your confidence but continue to present your best self in other areas of your application as well. Good luck!
