Concurrent Admission

Steps to apply as a concurrent student

1. Review admission requirements 

   Students have the option to apply to OSU without consideration of a test score. Students who select this option on the application will be considered for admission based on a full review of their high school transcript. Class rank is not required for test optional admission. Test optional also applies to home school, private, parochial or other non-public high schools who are not accredited by a recognized accrediting agency.

   • Assured Concurrent Admission Criteria

     Must meet ONE of the following criteria:

     Requirement	Minimum Score
     GPA and Class Rank	3.0 and top 33.3% of class
     ACT/Pre-ACT (10th grade)	24+
     SAT/PSAT	1160+

2. Gather and submit your documents

   To complete your application, you'll need to: 

   • Have your high school send OSU your official high school transcript
   • Submit your ACT, SAT, Pre-ACT, PSAT or scores (optional). OSU's official codes are 3424 (ACT) and 6546 (SAT). We also accept test scores reported on your official high school transcript. OSU does not consider the essay component of the ACT/SAT for admission criteria.
