This is significantly higher than the national average of about 19.5. Meanwhile, the 25th percentile score for the incoming class is a <strong>29<\/strong>, and the 75th percentile is a composite score of <strong>32<\/strong>. This means that the lowest 25% of scorers achieved a 29 or below, and the highest 25% of scorers had a 32 or above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These numbers demonstrate the high standards Ohio State holds for its students. However, the range also shows that there is no one number that applicants must achieve for admission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"802\" height=\"212\" src=\"https:\/\/nextadmit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Ohio_State_University-Composite-3-802x212.png\" alt=\"Ohio State ACT composite score chart\" class=\"wp-image-3225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextadmit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Ohio_State_University-Composite-3-802x212.png 802w, https:\/\/nextadmit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Ohio_State_University-Composite-3-300x79.png 300w, https:\/\/nextadmit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Ohio_State_University-Composite-3-768x203.png 768w, https:\/\/nextadmit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Ohio_State_University-Composite-3.png 1480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 802px) 100vw, 802px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"review_essay_wrapper\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/nextadmit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/next-admit\/custom\/images\/shape-curve.webp)\"><div class=\"grid_essaybox\"><div class=\"review_essay_wrapper-content order--xs-1\"><span><h2 class=\"text--md--end text-center\">We\u2019ll review your essay<\/h2><\/span><p class=\"text--md--end text-center\">Receive edits in as little as 24 hours<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\"\/><div class=\"text--md--end text-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nextadmit.com\/services\/essay\/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=well_review_your_essay\" class=\"learn--more navbar__button button button--primary button--sm\">LEARN MORE<\/a><span class=\"text--md--end text-center\">CONSULTANTS FROM<\/span><div class=\"text--md--end text-center ms-img-10\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nextadmit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/next-admit\/custom\/images\/brand_logos.webp\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"font-0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nextadmit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/next-admit\/custom\/images\/essay_image.webp\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the average ACT English score at Ohio State?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ACT composite score is the average of the scores a student achieves on each of the four test sections: English, mathematics, reading, and science. Here, we will break down the Ohio State ACT English and Math score statistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The average ACT English score at Ohio State for enrolled students is <strong>31<\/strong>. In addition, the 25th and 75th percentiles fall at <strong>27 <\/strong>and <strong>34<\/strong>, respectively. Overall, Ohio State students perform very well on the English section of the ACT. These statistics show that 25% of admitted students scored up to a 27 on their ACT English section. Further, the highest quartile of admitted students scored a 34 or above on their ACT English section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"802\" height=\"212\" src=\"https:\/\/nextadmit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Ohio_State_University-English-3-802x212.png\" alt=\"Ohio State ACT English score chart\" class=\"wp-image-3226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextadmit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Ohio_State_University-English-3-802x212.png 802w, https:\/\/nextadmit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Ohio_State_University-English-3-300x79.png 300w, https:\/\/nextadmit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Ohio_State_University-English-3-768x203.png 768w, https:\/\/nextadmit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Ohio_State_University-English-3.png 1480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 802px) 100vw, 802px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the average ACT Math score at Ohio State?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The average ACT Math score for enrolled students at Ohio State is <strong>29<\/strong>. The 25th and 75th percentiles fall at <strong>27 <\/strong>and <strong>32<\/strong>, respectively. While these scores are a bit lower than the English section scores, they are still quite high when compared to the national averages. As with the other sections, there is no one particular benchmark that applicants must meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, these statistics show that 50% of students admitted to Ohio State scored a 29 or below on their ACT, while another 50% scored a 29 or above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"802\" height=\"212\" src=\"https:\/\/nextadmit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Ohio_State_University-Math-3-802x212.png\" alt=\"Ohio State ACT math score chart\" class=\"wp-image-3227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nextadmit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Ohio_State_University-Math-3-802x212.png 802w, https:\/\/nextadmit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Ohio_State_University-Math-3-300x79.png 300w, https:\/\/nextadmit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Ohio_State_University-Math-3-768x203.png 768w, https:\/\/nextadmit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Ohio_State_University-Math-3.png 1480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 802px) 100vw, 802px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are Ohio State\u2019s ACT requirements?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ohio State has <a href=\"https:\/\/news.osu.edu\/ohio-state-shares-decision-on-test-requirements\/\">reinstated<\/a> a testing requirement for all applicants in the 2026 academic year and beyond. This means applicants are now required to submit ACT or SAT scores, even though Ohio State was previously test-optional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ohio State <a href=\"https:\/\/undergrad.osu.edu\/pdf\/OSUintl_checklist.pdf\">requires<\/a> official ACT scores to be sent directly from the testing agency. Self-reported scores are not considered official and will not be accepted. As a result, you can send your Ohio State ACT scores directly to the admissions team when you take your exam, or after the exam for a fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that Ohio State does not require the writing section of the ACT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More details about Ohio State ACT requirements can be found on their <a href=\"https:\/\/undergrad.osu.edu\/apply\/freshmen-columbus\/apply-step-by-step\">Application Information<\/a> webpage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What percent of Ohio State applicants submit the ACT?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the applicants admitted to Ohio State, <strong>35% <\/strong>submitted ACT scores. In addition, <strong>14%<\/strong> of admits submitted SAT scores. The remaining approximate <strong>51%<\/strong> omitted standardized test scores from their application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no benefit or advantage to taking one test over the other apart from individual circumstance and preference. Moreover, although these statistics show that the ACT is almost twice as popular among Ohio State applicants than the SAT, the admissions team does not prefer one test over the other. Furthermore, there is no disadvantage to going test-optional, given that this is the most popular choice among applicants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Ohio State superscore the ACT?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ohio State only considers composite scores. The OSU admissions committee does not create superscores for its applicants. However, Ohio State permits the ACT equivalent of Score Choice for individual test dates, which means that students can select which test dates they submit scores from, although not the individual test scores from different dates. This useful option is a good choice for students who have test dates they are proud of and others that they would prefer not to submit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s a good ACT score for Ohio State?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ohio State does not have specific SAT score requirements or cutoffs for applicants to the University. That said, some programs may have more specific requirements, such as the College of Nursing. Read more about these specific requirements on their <a href=\"https:\/\/undergrad.osu.edu\/apply\/freshmen-columbus\/who-gets-in\/enrollment-criteria\">Enrollment Criteria<\/a> webpage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applicants for whom English is not a native language are expected to submit a minimum ACT score of 21 in the English section; read more about the requirements for non-native English speakers <a href=\"https:\/\/undergrad.osu.edu\/apply\/freshmen-columbus\/apply-step-by-step\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no one score requirement that applicants must meet to have their application considered. That being said, most admitted Ohio State students have high standardized testing scores. The statistics mentioned above show that the average score is around 31, so aiming for a score at or above the average would put you in a good position. The upper 25% of Ohio State students scored a 32 or higher, which indicates that a \u201cgood\u201d SAT score for Ohio State would be quite high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table><tbody><tr><th>Section<\/th><th>25th<\/th><th>50th<\/th><th>75th<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Composite<\/td><td>29<\/td><td>31<\/td><td>32<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>English<\/td><td>27<\/td><td>31<\/td><td>34<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Math<\/td><td>27<\/td><td>29<\/td><td>32<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I get into Ohio State with a low ACT?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting into Ohio State with a low ACT score is possible, but challenging. \u201cLow\u201d is a relative term, of course: below-average scores for Ohio State are still quite high when compared to the national averages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be specific, the lower quartile ACT score at Ohio State is a 29. This means that Ohio State students in the lowest 25% scored at or below a 29. The national average composite ACT score is about 19.5. Therefore, the lowest 25% of student admitted to Ohio State scored quite a bit higher on the ACT than the national average. With this in mind, it would be in an applicant\u2019s best interest to aim for the lower quartile, if not higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is still possible to get into Ohio State with an ACT score below these measurements: applicants who demonstrate strong academic and extracurricular performance can stand out in other ways. A student with a below-average score who demonstrates leadership and initiative through a community service project may be judged more favorably than an applicant with an above-average score who doesn\u2019t demonstrate initiative outside of studying and testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, while scores are important, they are not the only thing an upcoming college applicant should devote their time to. Learn more about what Ohio State looks for in applications on their <a href=\"https:\/\/academy-ccp.osu.edu\/application-process\/admission-criteria-columbus-campus-and-online-students\">Admission Criteria<\/a> webpage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When should I take the ACT for Ohio State?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For students who plan to submit applications during their senior year, the best time to take the ACT for Ohio State is generally during the preceding junior spring semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The October 4 (SAT) and September 6 (ACT) are the <strong>last 2025 test dates<\/strong> for students applying Early Action in the fall of 2025. If you plan to test on either of those dates, you must request that Ohio State receive scores when you register for the test. You won\u2019t be able to review scores from these dates prior to submitting your application by the November 1 deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are applying Regular Decision to Ohio State, your scores must be received by the admissions team by January 15. In other words, Ohio State must receive scores by the application deadline. Therefore, it is in your best interest to take the ACT earlier rather than later and to send your scores as swiftly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Ohio State\u2019s ACT code?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ohio State\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/ohiostatebuckeyes.com\/sports\/2018\/6\/29\/act-sat-test-information\">ACT code<\/a> for submitting official test scores is <strong>3312<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Ohio State now requires all students to submit a standardized test score, it is important that you begin preparing early to take the SAT or the ACT. Deciding between the exams is a personal decision, however, as Ohio State does not prefer one test over the other. Each student must make this decision based on their strengths, priorities, and goals.
