Oklahoma State University, which accepts nearly three-quarters of applicants, has a somewhat selective admissions process. Strong grades in required core classes and solid SAT/ACT scores will be the most important part of your OSU application. Applicants can qualify for assured admission if they meet the school's application criteria.
For students who do not qualify for assured admission, Oklahoma State offers a holistic admissions option involving other factors beyond grades and test scores. A strong application essay and glowing letters of recommendation can strengthen your application, as can participation in meaningful extracurricular activities, including leadership experience and community involvement. Students with particularly compelling stories or achievements can still receive serious consideration even if their grades and test scores are outside of OSU's average range.
In the graph above, the blue and green dots represent students who were accepted to OSU. Most successful applicants had grades in the "B" range or higher, ACT composite scores of 20 or higher, and SAT scores of 1000 or higher (ERW+M).
