Admissions Overview

Ohio State has a 52.72% acceptance rate, making it moderately selective. This means about half of applicants get in, so you need solid but not perfect stats. The middle 50% of students score between 1310-1480 on the SAT or around 31 on the ACT. With 44,617 students enrolled, Ohio State has room for many different types of learners, but you still need to show you can handle college-level work. The university looks for students who want to be part of something big, whether that's cheering for the Buckeyes, joining one of hundreds of student organizations, or diving into research opportunities. They value students who thrive in large, energetic environments and want access to nearly every academic program imaginable.
