Minimum SAT requirements for Ball State?

Anybody here applied to Ball State University? I'm a little stressed about my SAT scores. Can someone explain to me what the minimum requirements are for SAT scores at Ball State?

Ball State University, like many other universities, doesn't explicitly state a "minimum" SAT score for admission. Admission is based on a combination of your academic performance in high school, your SAT or ACT scores, and other factors, like your extracurricular involvement and any application essays.

For an idea of the scores generally accepted by Ball State, you can look at the middle 50% SAT score range, which is where most admitted students score. For Ball State, this range is typically around 1090-1260.

Remember that possessing a score within this range doesn't guarantee admission, and you can still be admitted with a score outside this range. Various factors beyond test scores (such as GPA, coursework rigor, and involvement in activities outside of the classroom) will be taken into account when making the admission decision. So even if your score is slightly lower than you'd ideally want, don't get discouraged. Other parts of your application may make up for it.

However, if you're not satisfied with your SAT score and believe you can perform better, retaking the test might be a worthwhile consideration. Strive to strengthen other parts of your application as well, to maximize your chances. Good luck!
