Hello! I'm considering applying to Ohio State University and was wondering if they require the ACT for admission? Thanks for any info you can provide!
Ohio State University has adopted a test-optional policy for the 2024-2025 application cycle. This means that submitting your ACT scores is optional, and you won't be at a disadvantage if you choose not to provide them. If you decide to include your ACT scores and you feel they are a strong representation of your abilities, they can potentially strengthen your application. However, if you believe your ACT scores don't best showcase your academic potential, you can still apply without submitting them, and the admissions committee will place more emphasis on other aspects of your application, such as your grades, course rigor, extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation.
It's important to weigh the pros and cons of submitting your ACT scores based on your individual profile and how you believe they might contribute to your overall application. Good luck with your college application process!
