Hi guys! I’m working on standardized test prep and trying to figure out my target scores. What kind of SAT scores is Ohio State University looking for? I don’t want to worry for nothing but don’t wanna undershoot either.
You're right in wanting to aim for the range that Ohio State University typically accepts. As of the 2024-2025 application cycle, the middle 50% SAT score range for admitted students is between 1250 and 1440. This means that 50% of admitted students scored between these two numbers - 25% scored below 1250, and 25% scored above 1440.
Do keep in mind, though, that having an SAT score within or above this range doesn't guarantee admission. Other factors like your GPA, course rigor, extracurriculars, essays, and letters of recommendation will all be part of the holistic review process.
If you're performing well below this range, it might be worth devising a study plan to help increase your score. You can leverage many resources, like the official College Board SAT prep or Khan Academy, which syncs with your PSAT/SAT results to offer personalized learning plans.
In any case, it's fantastic that you're on top of this and aiming for specific targets. Good luck in your prep!
