The middle 50% of enrolled students scored:[1]

• SAT (combined mid-50%): 1260–1460 (EBRW 620–710, Math 640–750)
• ACT composite (mid-50%): 27–32

The combined SAT range is the sum of the two section ranges, not a true composite percentile.

Ohio State Yield Rate

Of the 35,588 students admitted to the Class of 2027, 8,062 enrolled, a yield rate of 22.7%.[1] Yield is what the university is really managing when it sets an admit rate, so it moves the acceptance rate more than application volume does.

Class	Admitted	Enrolled	Yield
2027	35,588	8,062	22.7%
2025	33,269	8,423	25.3%
2024	33,619	8,679	25.8%
2023	25,634	7,716	30.1%
2022	24,988	7,944	31.8%

What to Expect for the Class of 2030

Over the three most recent official classes (2024–2027) the acceptance rate at Ohio State has sat between 50.8%–68.5%.

That band is what the school has actually done recently, not a prediction. A single cycle can break it: a change to testing policy, a new direct-admission program, or a jump in application volume moves the rate more than any trend would.
