Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are currently optional at Bowling Green State University due to test-optional policies, though submitting scores can strengthen an application.
• BGSU evaluates scores as part of a holistic review, considering them alongside academic records and personal achievements rather than strict cutoffs.
• Bowling Green State University practices superscoring for the SAT, meaning they combine the highest section scores from multiple test dates to form the best possible composite score.
• Alternatives such as Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) scores may be considered to demonstrate college readiness if SAT scores are not submitted.
• For competitive applications, prospective students should aim for an SAT score of 1100 or higher to align with or exceed the average at BGSU.
