Okay, bear with me. I'm thinking of applying to Ohio State and I'm a bit stressed about their SAT requirements. What kind of scores does it usually take to get in? Is my 1350 competitive enough or do I need to work on improving it?
For Ohio State University, the middle 50% range of SAT scores for admitted students is typically around 1310-1480. This means that 25% of admitted students score below 1310, 50% score within that range, and 25% score above 1480. Your score of 1350 lands you in the middle of this range.
However, keep in mind that Ohio State, like many universities, looks at more than just test scores. Your GPA, extracurricular involvements, letters of recommendation, and essays also hold significant weight in the admissions process. Be sure to present a well-rounded application that showcases your strengths, interests, and the unique perspectives you could bring to the campus community. While a higher SAT score could potentially boost your application, a 1350 is already a strong score, and now it might be time to prioritize other elements of your application. Good luck!
