What are the average SAT scores for Ohio University?

Hi everyone! I'm considering applying to Ohio University and I wanted to know what the average SAT scores are for admitted students. Do they have a specific range they're looking for? Thanks in advance!

Hello! For Ohio University, the middle 50% SAT scores for admitted students typically fall between 1100-1260. This statistic means that 25% of admitted students score below 1110, while another 25% score above 1260, and the remaining 50% fall within this range.

Though these scores provide a general target, Ohio University does practice a holistic review process, so your SAT scores are just one factor among many that they'll consider when evaluating your application. Apart from your test scores, they'll also look at your GPA, extracurricular involvement, course rigor, and so on to get a better understanding of you as an applicant. While a strong SAT score is a good starting point, make sure to also invest in making these other areas as strong as possible.

Finally, it's worth noting that Ohio University is officially test-optional, so you actually are not required to submit an SAT (or ACT) score. However, you're smart to still be thinking about target SAT scores, as there can still be instances where including a standardized test score with your application can be a good idea.

Good luck with your application!
