• CSU evaluates scores as part of a holistic review process, considering them alongside GPA and other application materials rather than as strict cutoffs.
• Columbus State University does practice superscoring, meaning they consider the highest section scores across multiple SAT test dates to form a composite score.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores may be considered for placement or credit but do not typically replace SAT/ACT requirements for admission.
• Applicants are encouraged to aim for an SAT score of at least 1000 or higher to be competitive for admission to Columbus State University (CSU).
