Hi everyone, does Ohio University still require SAT scores for their admissions? If so, what's the average score they're looking for? Appreciate any insight you can provide!
Hi there! As of the 2024-2025 application cycle, Ohio University is test-optional, which means that submitting SAT scores is not required for their admissions process. However, if you feel that your SAT score accurately represents your academic abilities and will strengthen your application, you can choose to submit it.
For reference, the middle 50% SAT scores of Ohio University students admitted before they implemented the test-optional policy were between 1100 and 1260. While this range is informative, it's important to remember that the university is now test-optional and will evaluate applicants holistically, taking into account factors such as high school GPA, class rigor, extracurricular activities, and essays.
If you decide to submit your SAT score, aim for a score within or above this previously mentioned range to be competitive. However, if your score falls below this range, don't be discouraged, as your application will be evaluated based on other factors as well. Good luck!
