OU SAT Scores

SAT Score Ranges for Admitted Students:

• Score Range: 1130–1330 (combined Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and Math)
• Average Score: Approximately 1230 for admitted students
• Percentile: Scoring in the 75th percentile (around 1330) can strengthen an application

Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are currently required for most freshman applicants to the University of Oklahoma (OU), though policies may vary by program or year.
• OU employs a holistic review process, meaning SAT scores are evaluated alongside other academic and personal achievements, not as a sole deciding factor.
• The University of Oklahoma practices superscoring, combining the highest section scores from multiple SAT test dates to create the best possible composite score.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores may be considered for placement or credit but do not typically replace SAT requirements for admission.
• Applicants are encouraged to aim for an SAT score of at least 1230 or higher to be competitive, with scores closer to 1330 aligning with top admitted students at OU.
