I'm considering applying to Oakland University. Do they need SAT scores in the application? If so, what is an acceptable score range?
Oakland University is test-optional. Starting from the 2021 admission cycle, the university decided to make the SAT and ACT optional due to the COVID-19 pandemic and has continued this policy. This means you can choose whether or not to submit your SAT or ACT scores as part of your application.
If you do decide to submit your test scores, keep in mind that the average SAT score of students admitted to Oakland University is typically within the range of 1030-1240. However, this is just a guideline and not a strict cutoff. Admissions decisions are based on various factors, not just standardized test scores.
Remember to focus on other parts of your application like your GPA, extracurricular activities, and personal essays as well. Good luck with your application process!
