SAT Scores are required for some programs

This university requires SAT Scores for some programs.

In early 2025, Ohio State reinstated the requirement for all first‑year applicants to submit ACT or SAT scores; standardized test results are mandatory for those within two years of high school graduation, though applicants out of high school for two or more years are exempt. Scores are superscored and reviewed alongside GPA and course rigor. Selective direct‑enrollment programs (e.g., Nursing) specify higher minimum scores for guaranteed entry.

Note: Some programs or scholarships may still recommend or require SAT scores. Always verify the latest admission criteria on the official university website.
